SlingPlayer for the iPhone is available in the App Store right now priced at £17.99 or $29.95 and is missing the ability to run on the cellular network. Yes it is no surprise we have to admit but deep down we had hoped for this to be one of the features of the application.
So what has gone wrong, is this Apples fault?, doubtful, Sling’s fault?, no way as they are happy to release the app on other platforms utilising 3G, so that leaves one other culprit, yes you guessed it the Carriers or Networks and in particular AT&T.
You know the companies we pay huge monthly subscriptions too for unlimited data to use as we see fit, no thats not good enough for them, they want to take our money for a service and then restrict what we can use that service for as they have not invested enough in the infrastructure and are afraid it will be exposed if they allow applications that can stream media.
