Disappointing News From AT&T

Electronista is reporting that some new language in AT&T's contract might bring streaming video to the iPhone to a grind, including SlingPLayer's new app. The language says in part, "customer initiated redirection of television or other video or audio signals via any technology from a fixed location to a mobile device," will be blocked.

Guess what AT&T? the iPhone is a portable computer on your network. Deal with it. You could've seen this demand coming, and should've made plans to accomodate it. It almost makes me wonder how restrictive AT&T could become before Apple could break out of their exclusivity agreement. You're making extra money on iPhone subscriber every single month. If you don't have a problem with that, you shouldn't have a problem with the capabilities that sell those devices, AT&T.

UPDATE: Now AT&T says the wording was a mistake.Thanks to Grant in the comments for the heads up.
