I feel the same. I've been travelling during the past month. Accessing video content from the Olympics has been extremely hard.
I think the IOC might be shooting themselves in both of their feet here. If they don't open open up, they'll some day find that they're suddenly irrelevant.
By the way, during the 2012 London Olympics the IOC and Google struck a deal to stream the like 20+ HD channels live to 64 territories:
"The live-streaming on the IOC’s YouTube channel will provide exclusive digital access to the London 2012 Olympic Games in territories where digital broadcast rights have not already been acquired by the IOC’s broadcast partners"

I was in one of those regions at the time. It was awesome.
