Yeah, sure, we all wish we were living in the future. In the meantime, someone has to pay for the cameras and streaming. I agree that no one should pay for some of the "personalities" involved in some of the NBC coverage. You've implied that the currently available terms of payment are not appealing to you. However, lots of real people still have subscriptions to cable, satellite, Hulu, Sling, etc.

If they can't find more cities foolish enough to host, Olympics will be toast. Future host cities will demand more money from networks up-front. At some point they're just going to drop the whole thing and fill the airtime with minor league women's soccer or rollerblade lacrosse or something. Sure, Olympics started without television networks and it could continue without them, broadcasting over YouTube or whatever. However the show would be very different. We'd still have track and field, but basketball would be played without pros, many fewer "weird" sports and many fewer events in some of the overdone sports like swimming. Which could be OK...
