London Olympics to be Broadcast in 3D

I was reading through a recent edition of The Hollywood Reporter and noticed a little comment in a larger article about 3D that stated that the London 2012 Summer Olympics will be getting the 3D treatment. I'm personally un interested in watching TV in 3D, but hopefully there is an audience out there for this content!

Here is more:
The 2012 London Olympics will get the 3D treatment, with plans currently in the works for at least 10 venues to be covered by 3D cameras, according to a leading broadcast equipment manufacturer.
"Although 3D is still marginal in relation to the larger audience there will be a few of the main events (at the 2012 Olympics) in 3D with feeds from 10 venues being discussed," said Luc Doneux, who heads major events for broadcast equipment manufacturer EVS, whose server technology lies at the heart of broadcast plans that are being formulated by host broadcaster Olympic Broadcast Services (OBS).
