It looks pretty certain that we ARE getting free 3D coverage of the 2012 Olympics on FIOS channel 1003! 

You can read more on this site, as well as see the schedule for the first week.

I can't wait! I don't have the $$ to pay for ESPN 3D, and I didn't have a 3D TV during last year's US Open, so this'll be my first taste of 3D on FIOS.

I have been trying for months to find out about the 3D Olympic coverage with Verizon.  When you call them, they know nothing about it.  Two reps told me that the 3D coverage was from July 16-19!  

Thank you for the information!

I don't know why the carriers are not advertising it.  Neither is NBC!
