Apple allows app for streaming via 3G

Well eyetv works on those who have a Mac. Those who don't have a Mac prefer sling media as the choice for streaming video, BUT sling media cannot stream through 3g. It only works using wifi. This is a surprising move by AT&T because of the amount of bandwith that THEY think that this will use. Hopefully, this is a sign for good things to come.

The simple fact is that AT&T has oversold their network many times over. They need to restrict features...otherwise the whole network would drag to the point that you could not download text-only email. I blame Apple...as they chose AT&T (and only AT&T) knowing in advance that their network was already oversold, and that it would become even more oversold with the iPhone plan. This situation was made even worse by the iPhone 3G...and again Apple chose to stick with AT&T, knowing the situation better than anyone.

AT&T has been a terrible company for a long time...this started in the days when they were a telecomunications monopoly in many areas, but it has persisted even as their monopoly degraded into a sub-standard network of oversold cell towers and rotted telephone lines. At this point, they have the policies of a monopoly with the infastructure of an underdog. Apple seems to like this (it mirrors their own corportate structure)
