NBC To Live Stream Olympics Event 186
An anonymous reader writes "According to Broadcasting Cable, NBC is going to stream the gold medal Men's hockey game live on the NBC Olympics web site. This is in preparation for (hopefully) many more live feeds throughout the year. The video stream will have DRM and IP protection to attempt to limit access to residents of the US, like the other event video on the site. With the stream served by Akamai's CDN, it will be interesting to see if it can sustain the load. The game starts around 8:00am EST on Sunday, Feb 26 if you are interested in checking it out."

Can't argue with the rest of your rant, but rest assured that Olympics facilities very often are used again - at least in places that care.
Calgary's '88 winter Olys left us with some amazing facilities, which have directly lead to Canada doing better each time since. We're looking at a record haul, much of which can be attributed to having a world-class speed skating oval here. Canadian athletes used to have to go overseas to train for a lot of winter events.
Last time I visited Lake Placid, the facilities there were in continual use, as a touist destination and training facility.
