The services will enable AT&T to provide a dedicated network through which NBC can transmit digital television coverage of the Games, which will be held August 8 - 24, 2008, back to the U.S. for national broadcast throughout NBC's television network.
CNC was selected by Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee as the exclusive fixed-line telecommunications partner in China for the 2008 Olympic Games. NBC Olympics will provide exclusive coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games to hundreds of millions of viewers in the U.S.
