For Americans who have an interest in Euroleague basketball, ESPN's online station - ESPN 360 - will air 40 Euroleague games this season. It sounds all good and dandy, until you read the fine print - and find out that ESPN is in cahoots with certain cable internet providers but not others. Meaning if you use Comcast, only the largest provider in the nation, you cannot access this potentially wonderful feature. Instead, you must have:
AT&T, Verizon, RCN, Insight, Frontier, Cavalier, Charter, Mediacom, Conway, Grande Communications and many more. It is also now available at no cost to approximately 18 million U.S. college students and U.S.-based military personnel via on-campus educational networks (with a ".edu" domain) and military networks (with a ".mil" domain).Even if you have an AT&T account, as I do for my cell phone, still no cigar. You gotz to have that cable provider!
For those of you blessed with the above, go here for a schedule of upcoming games.

Aww, we got served.
comcast has a relative monopoly in arkansas - are we sure this isn't just arkansas discrimination?
Oh, comcast is everywhere these days ... in my searches, I have seen people from other states complaining of the same thing!
