Awhile back Slingbox was finally launched in Canada and now a few months later it is getting its launch in Europe. Reuters UK reports that the Slingbox will cost 180 pounds (~ $338 USD). They also go on to report that apparently U.S. based mobile carrier Sprint Nextel might be creating some sort of partnership with Sling Media.

If a deal between a mobile carrier and Sling goes down, it could be quite an interesting concept. Now instead of being stuck with whatever ‘multimedia’ your carrier offers, you might be able to stream your own personalized content to your phone. Of course with streaming video comes streaming data prices. Unless some sort of bulk plan can be made available at a cheap price, wide spread adoption of a new technology like this might fail.
