None of the major North American sports networks are showing the tournament, but according to this article, with 16,000 media personnel, the ACN 2008 will be broadcast to nearly 4.2 billion. That's like 75% of the world population. So I love how basically everyone on the planet, even those who live in places like Fiji and Greenland, get to watch these games, but we in the US and Canada, the most commercially advanced region in the world, can't.

I'm with you a hundred percent. That is interesting to hear that the big TV stations did make attempts to get the rights to broadcast this tournament...I wasn't aware of that.
