I've ben wondering why other stations aren't making similar apps, maybe that's what we'll have to wait for? I'd be happy with about ten of the big ones, comedy central, discovery channel, speed channel, stuff like that.. Although I'd still rather have everything, don't they get live streaming tv in South Korea on all cell phones? Found it >> http://www.teleclick.ca/2006/03/south-korean-cell-phone-users-get-free-mobile-tv/

Why are we so behind other countries?

Amen

To the rest of you, go cry and watch TV on some other netwok. Sling is not being allowed to run on 3G with the iphone end of story.

What false advertising? AT&T calls it "Unlimited Data because it currently IS. Guess what? You have unlimited data! Go ahead and use 20GB or 30GB next month and see what happens to your bill - nothing. They will not bill you any more than anyone else because it's in your contract and because they don't have to worry about most people ever coming close to using that much.

So, why can AT&T currently offer unlimited data? Umm... because they block apps like Sling Player from being used by millions of people so ALL OF US can keep unlimited data!

If they allowed every useless couch potato to watch TV all day from everyhere, they'd have to stop offering unlimited data to sane people who have work to do.

If you used Sling on 3G and AT&T cut you off, then you'd have a case. But since there ISN'T Sling on 3G, you continue having unlimited data and have NO case.

It's not complicated.

I hope no one in this Sling crowd ever considers practicing law.

Yeah, the double standard is pretty odd. I'd like to see the explanation for that.

It still does not rise to the level of an actionable act.

ATT did exactly what every other ISP did in selling you an unlimited plan on a shared network, and it has withstood the court challenges everywhere.

You failed to read the fine print. http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/service-agreement.jsp?qtermsKey=postpaidServiceAgreement&qtermsName=Service+Agreement

It is PATENTLY OBVIOUS to the most casual observer that it is physically impossible to serve high-bandwidth streaming video to 17million iPhone users at the same time.

No carrier has this. You wouldn't want to pay for the the network that could do this. There isn't enough radio spectrum to handle it.

Its a shared resource. You don't have a dedicated pipe running to your phone. No carrier in the world provides that.

Every cell tower can service only so many phones at once. The entire system is built around the fact that people are on for a little while and off for the vast majority of the time.

Even browsing the web, your traffic is bursty. The url request goes out, the page comes in, and there is no persistent connection or continuous data transfer while you read the page. Other users get a chance to use those same tower channels while you read.

Streaming of ANYTHING is totally different. It occupies a transmitter for a long time. But music and even YouTube is pretty low bandwidth. However, Streaming Plus HighBandwidth is really abusive of other users on a shared network.

Someday we may have networks with the bandwidth to handle this, but today is not that day.

AT&T assumed massive debt in the takeover of Cingular (and the debt left over from old AT&T Wireless and all the other players consumed by the corporate desire to dominate the market.) Paying-off the debt service on all this corporate takeover activity consumes more of your monthly subscription than any other component of your bill.

With so little left over, the capital to invest in improving the network is simply not up to the task. Any dream of 4G service from AT&T will be a dream for quite some time.

I'm going with the Pre. And although i like Sprint's network better, in no way would i want Sprint having input on what apps i can install. In any case, hopefully you can sideload palm apps without them being signed or approved by palm. If not, it'll be another walled garden.

Because that's the main issue here. Apple's approval in the only store where you can officially buy iphone apps has caused this. I have a hard time believing any other US carrier wouldn't do the same if they had the iphone.

Apple could've approved it citing that its available on other smartphones that run on AT&T and has been for years. And put the ball in AT&T's court.

@Icebike: Why would anyone watch their sling over their iPhone on their home Wifi??? Why not watch the TV? I would hope it's bigger.

@Evilhomer: You said, "Just a couple of months ago, there were blogs all over the place where AT&T’s network was crashing just from large gatherings of iPhone users at tech conventions."

I've got one worse. I live in Fayetteville, AR (population 70K). At each Arkansas Razorback Football game, AT&T cell phones are dead from about 3 hours before the game until 1.5 hours after it. It makes it impossible to find friends at other tailgates. I was recently at a Dallas Stars game in downtown Dallas and service was out the whole game --- DOWNTOWN DALLAS!!! I can understand a tech convention more than a college football game or a small event in downtown Dallas.

Sorry guys and gals. I have to agree with Evilhomer on this one. UNLIMITED has only one meaning. at&t knowingly sold us a plan that they can’t support. I am actually surprised there isn’t a class action suit yet. Has anyone ever heard of false advertising? Bait and switch? And at&t continues to false advertise this UNLIMITED data plan.

First we chouldn't tether because the iPhone would not be the main data device (the computer would be). Now with Sling, the iPhone WOULD be the main data device and yet we are STILL limited in our data usage.

I understand the infrastructure isn't there yet. But then, DON’T SELL IT AS UNLIMITED!!

Where is my lawyer??

Hope this made more sense. sorry.

What are you the bandwidth police? It's none of your business what we do with the UNLIMITED data that we are supposed to have on our iPhone plans.

The point of the rants in this forum are that AT&T is a weak network and never should have taken on a media centric device they couldn't handle. Additionally, AT&T continues to push the device and are doing their best to hold on to their exclusivity of the iPhone, yet they don't really have the network to support it. Forget about Sling for a minute. Just a couple of months ago, there were blogs all over the place where AT&T's network was crashing just from large gatherings of iPhone users at tech conventions.

So the rants against AT&T are legit. They have no business pushing out millions of devices they can't support, limiting what one ONE group of phone users can do with their devices, and then try to remain the EXCLUSIVE carrier of said device. If they want to play, they need to pay and get the network up to speed. Period. So I don't see how you guys can defend them when they practically admit their data network is garbage.

@Steve directly. Yes I called you a moron. Get over it and stop crying about it already. You have already returned the name calling several times over and now you just sound like a little beach. People want to do at much as they can with a portable smartphone, media centric device and not be limited to what YOU think is excessive. If you can't understand that, then you just prove I wasn't wrong about you being a moron.

Same thing I agreed with yesterday. Except yesterday, for some strange reason, it resulted in being called a "moron" by some child.

I love new tech but I have to agree with the Evil Empire on this one. In many places their network is already struggling. Not all iPhone owners are into Sling, but we all want to email and browse the web.

Well said. At last someone with a lick of sense.

Why go somewhere ELSE to watch tv from your home on your iphone?

Watch TV on your iphone at home using your own wifi, not bandwidth we all have to share.

Jailbreak, install VoiPover3G, then replace with a modified VoiPover3G.plist, respring, and it works flawlessly!

Sling - 3G = EPIC FAIL!!!!

Keep in mind, the alternative to banning bandwidth consuming apps outright is to end unlimited data plans and charge customers per gb, mb or kb to guarentee that everyone gets a fair share of the network.

I also think $30 is a bit much for an app that is limited to wifi when Sling positions the service as a use anywhere convienence. $30 would be ok if AT&T didnt cripple the app.
