I wonder how much NBCU is charging carriers for a part time network only on for 2 weeks?

I wonder how much NBCU is charging carriers for a part time network only on for 2 weeks? | The NBCU-Soccer and NBCU-Basketball channels are available to carriers who carry the Universal-HD suite. D*, E*, and Charter made agreements back in the Winter to carry HD channels. NBCU was pressing for 2012 games as well. It is unknown whether agreement was made through 2012. NBCU and E* entered into long term agreement which gave us USA-HD and SCI-FI-HD channels. Bravo-HD was promised to be picked up by E* when they had capacity. NBCU and E* into another agreement to provide "ad triggers" at this years Olympic games. NBCU and E* have a strong relationship together.
Bravo will not carry any Olympic coverage.
