Re: Assumptions.... They also care about people streaming crap from their houses. It's just more immediate with the 3G network.
They ain't about to allow streaming from home. If they decide to make their own streaming app for the iPhone, it's going to ride the U-Verse network from the tower. No one in their right minds would allow for such a large bandwidth hog if they didn't have a way to reduce costs. |

Then why was the Orb streaming application, or any number of webcam streaming applications approved? The retail OrbLive application can do the exact same thing as the Slingbox. |

| Probably because they don't suck down the bandwidth like Sling does. 512Kbps spread over a bunch of people per tower does not equal happy usage for all. I'm not familiar with Orb, but I would bet the bandwidth necessary for use is much smaller. |
