CCTV, China Central Television, is the authorized internet broadcaster for the 2008 Olympics in China.

It has partnered with PPLive to stream the online video to millions during the Olympics. With a current audience of 35 million people each month it expects to expand its audience during the Olympics.

CCTV does not have a working model of P2P technology and so it partnered with PPLive for that technology. Maybe a partnership that will last beyond the Olympics? Thanks to Afterdawn. X
