A lot has been made of NBC’s digital offerings back in the U.S. The next step in that digital evolution needs to be allowing Olympic reporters to access their home broadcaster’s digital feeds from the Games’ host country.

I tried to pull up the U.S.-Norway women’s soccer game last night and was blocked — as expected. It would be a great benefit to reporters and people visiting the Games if they could have access to both the domestic and international feed.

That’s something the IOC may want to look at allowing in the future by finding some way to determine if it’s media from the States who are trying to watch events from their respective broadcasters. Sure would make our jobs easier.

My slingbox is down. Otherwise, I’d try and use it.
