AT&T today announced that it would soon let Sling Player work on the iPhone over its 3G network. AT&T had originally said that Sling would cause too much traffic to flow over its network, which might cause service disruptions.
"Slingbox, which would use large amounts of wireless network capacity, could create congestion and potentially prevent other customers from using the network. The application does not run on our 3G wireless network. Applications like this, which redirect a TV signal to a personal computer, are specifically prohibited under our [brand new]terms of service. We consider smartphones like the iPhone to be personal computers in that they have the same hardware and software attributes as PCs.
