SlingPlayer For iPhone Is Going 3G
It seems all the hate talk that AT&T has received in the past few months is finally paying off as the company seems to be more open to new innovative solutions for iPhone. Sling Media’s iPhone app is one of those solutions. If you have ever wanted to watch your TV from a remote location or over your home network, you have probably heard of Sling. SlingPlayer is not a new app by any means. Sling Media developed the app a while ago, but the app was restricted to WiFi only by AT&T. It seems after Sling Media’s complaint to the FCC and AT&T testing the app for a few months already, the company is ready to allow it to work over 3G as well.

The FCC was fast to respond to AT&T’s decision to let SlingPlayer go 3G. After all, it may have played a role in AT&T’s decision to reverse its course:
AT&T’s announcement is a step in the right direction. Consumers benefit from mobile video choice
Sling Media is happy with the decision as well. After all, the company is all about giving consumers more options when it comes to watching TV. But is AT&T shooting itself in the foot by becoming more lenient towards bandwidth-intensive apps such as Slingplayer?
