I have purchased two webcasts from i2 sports - last winter's Junior Nationals and this year's Lake Placid Summer Freestyle Championships (the Saturday live webcast).
This time, I noticed that they had a "USFSA Webcast" logo on the top of the page. I wonder how seriously the USFSA is looking into webcasts of their competitions. I would pay upwards of $100 for the complete webcast of US Nationals, and at least $50 for Sectionals or Skate America. The cost of attending these events, especially Nationals, is becoming prohibitive. The video has been quite reliable, and it's reassuring to know that they archive the events so if you do have a snafu with your connection, you can go back and watch.
I think this is a completely untapped market and I truly hope that the USFSA continues to develop this idea. Any thoughts?
