AT&T has retracted its ban on Sling-like services that redirect television to mobile handsets. That was one element in a debate spurred by the wireless company's restrictions on Internet services seen as competing with its own.

Liz Gannes at NewTeeVee has a good description of the limited about-face, which AT&T said arose from a contract change made in in error.

Why Phone?,, why not save and dump your phone and use the Wifi for Sling? ... we as customers should pool our resources and tell AT&T to stick their Iphone where the sun don't shine. If they don't care about 'us', the customer, then all the do care about is their bottom line... Hey,, we can watch sling on Wifi, why should we pay so much to use their services when we can't use them? They have a 'Id-10-T' error (idiot),, I am going to find a way out of my contract.
