I agree that the problem is the content, not the idea. Every time I show someone my sling moble player. they're impressed and quite a few are looking to get one. I use it often around the house watching the news in the morning, and on the road for accessing my DVR/VOD/whatever. The phone companies don't like it because they don't have the bandwidth available for more than a few people/cell to stream content, and because they don' t have the Internet connections necessary to pull off a wide scale rollout. Most of their content is on cashing servers in data centers, not over the wild Internet.
