G+_Marlon Thompson Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 When its not available in your country Being an avid tech user from outside of the US one of the things I have learned to deal with is not being able to download an app or view content because its not available in my country. If I left a comment about how much it sucked I would usually get attacked by US citizens telling me to move to a real country (yep that's what they would say). Now over the years I have picked up a few tricks and I am able to get the content and devices I crave, damn the restrictions. But what about when the shoe is on the other foot. Olympic TV is an app where you can live stream the Winter Olympics for free (yep free) almost everywhere in the world except the US, Canada, Latin America, Asia Europe and Australia (that felt good to write). Yes live-streaming is only available in the Caribbean and Africa and people are pissed, but hey turnaround is fairplay. So if your a loyal AAA listener from anyone of these countries like me, get your winter Olympics on. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.obs.OVPPlayer.ioc.eng&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.obs.OVPPlayer.ioc.eng&hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Tom Gehrke Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Geographical restrictions on the Internet rarely make sense, IMO. And I don't care which country is getting screwed, being told to move is just... trollish. I'd love to be able to use this app since I'm not thrilled with NBC's coverage. But I'm glad that those who typically get the short end of the stick finally get a chance at the longer end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 You know it Tom Gehrke and I work with some Canadians who were frustrated with not being able to get the coverage on television so they were grateful for the app. BTW great work on the reddit designs of our cordkilling and daily news friends' pages :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Marlon Thompson Thanks! :) That cut into my G+ community time, though. Trying to get back now that things have calmed down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
