“NBC has the exclusive U.S. rights to the Olympic videos — streaming, highlight clips, archiving and video on demand. The digital broadcast feeds will be produced by NBC directly, or come from the host Olympic Broadcasting Service.  To help deliver the Olympics, NBC is partnering with Microsoft on the latter's Windows Azure cloud-computing technology”
