SlingMedia to partner with mobile carrier?

Location-shifting television is definitely the wave of the future – next to full-out IPTV of course. Blake Krikorian, CEO of SlingMedia, mentioned at O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 conference last week that his company (makers of the SlingBox) has hooked up with European mobile carriers to show “place-shifted” TV on mobile devices. He also stated that they have formed a partnership with a major carrier in the U.S., and will announce it very soon. Lets analyze who it could be. It won’t be Sprint, because they already deep into Sprint TV; It won’t likely be T-Mobile, because they just don’t have the mass reach. I’m going to go with either Verizon or Cingular on this one. If Krikorian was telling the truth, we’ll be finding out shortly.
