Sling Media on Friday corrected AT&T’s position on the clearance to ship a 3G-capable SlingPlayer for iPhone. While AT&T characterized the remote TV streaming app as “optimized,” the Slingbox creator company’s John Santoro told Ars Technica that Sling “didn’t change anything” in its 3G code, or enter discussions, to satisfy AT&T’s demands. The app has always had dynamic bitrate changes to match available bandwidth.
