I am very curious about their reason, because I haven't seen it anywhere
yet. I don't think that NHK would sell the rights for a so high price what
Eurosport can't afford. I also don't think they don't know how much people
like to watch sumo (we are not less than darts or curling fans for example).

I got the same frivolous blah-blah, too.

I have been waiting for the reply of the "concerned service" for more than
two weeks.

Concerned service = trash folder or /dev/null/, it seems.

Fine, so they are only hoping, too.

Now I wonder what can it mean. Although I have a tip.

All I can recommend is to bomb them with e-mails asking about their plans,
until they finally send a normal reply. I will put a protesting banner on my
site and will ask my visitors to send them an e-mail.
