Hope these games will be broadcast, either on T.V (which I think will be unlikely except for maybe the final) or online (I think this is a big possibility) as I would like to watch the games that aren't been played in the home nations

Now, with France not being in it, does it mean that they cannot be in the 2011 4 nations, or will there be a playoff?

isn't the plan for france to be in the four nations when it's held in the northern hemisphere with the possibilty of a fifth team joining at some point?
