SlingPlayer Mobile app gets 3G support from AT&T
www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Sling Media’s SlingPlayer Mobile video application will be supported by AT&T across its 3G mobile broadband network. The announcement came almost a year after the iPhone app to WiFi on grounds that 3G streaming would consume too much network capacity.
SlingPlayer Mobile app enables users to stream live and recorded television content from their home entertainment system to their iPhone. The app has been tested by AT&T since mid-December and the company notified recently that its 3G network can now support the service.
According to AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets president and CEO Ralph de la Vega, collaboration with developers like Sling Media ensures that all apps are optimized for our 3G network to conserve wireless spectrum and reduce the risk that an app will cause such extreme levels of congestion that they disrupt the experience of other wireless customers.
