It seems that some Australian radio broadcasters, ABC and 2GB, have fallen foul of the arcane restrictions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding the broadcast of Olympic material.
The broadcasters had secured the rights to broadcast live from the Olympics, and were happily doing so. However, they were broadcasting via the internet.
It seems that the grandees of the IOC do not approve of such means of communication, and have banned the companies from making further broadcasts.
There is a possibility that the hapless Australian companies may also be sued, and lose their rights to broadcast Olympic material again.
