Menlo Park, CA | could see it I could actually see a problem with the slingplayer app for iphone, at least on the 3G. If you think that ATT has all the mobile hotspot offerings, and then there could be many iphone users in the same place (similar folk, similar tastes, similar bleeding edge tech users) then on the 3g connection at any given time at least in cities, there could be 2-3+ slingplayer users in one location, all trying to STREAM 400-500kps over the 3G network. I'm not sure what sort of bandwidth there is at the node, is it OC3, or higher, but one could eat up a lot of bandwidth at specific locations VERY quickly. |
| You argument makes no sense since people are using the Sling client all over the ATT network already with HTC and motorola phones.
Banning only the iphone is truly anti-competitive.
Whats worse is that the Sling client can be used on Wi-Fi at home and that has ZERO impact to the ATT shitty 3g/Edge networks.
100% pure duchebaggery from ATT here. |
