    which the Cubbies won 6-5 on Alfonso Soriano's walk-off RBI single in the ninth

    Playing favorites?

    AT&T does seem to allow Sling Player mobile to stream over 3G on other devices (such as Blackberry). Also, when Sling first announced the player for iPhone, the noted WiFi streaming only at Apple's request.. Maybe we have more than one target for that over ripe fruit?

    seriously

    AT&T does not offer anything for free. You have to pay $30/month for unlimited data plan which actually is not unlimited because they block what you can do ... and this is all with blessing of lovely friendly so caring Apple company which restricts their OS more than anybody else

    glad I do not own iPhone

    slow

    Snooker's popularity rose hugely in the UK - as it was an efficient way of colour TV.

    What we need now is to find a sport that is most bandwidth effective thru as little happening as possible. Golf ? Cricket ? Manchester City ?
