I'll bite, John. I called cingular.com and got forwarded to att
wireless. What's the URL of the streaming TV part? I see them selling 5
and 10 MB (not GB) for $40, but no streaming services at all. They got
old data plans with 5 and 10MB of "internet", which to a cellphone
company means "webpages only...pay for spam".

What's the URL of the streaming TV you get unlimited streaming on?

Media Max 200 is what I have.
UNLIMITED Cellular Video
UNLIMITED MEdia Net
200 Messages

There's no Cellular Video in my area, and the "radio" is $9.95, so I don't
ahve either of those.

Video URLs are built into the firmware of "3G" handsets (e.g., RAZR
V3xx). Radio URLs are documented on the sites of downloadable J2ME
players.

Actually it does. The rebranding is far from complete. As in the
carrier display on my V3xx.

No, silly! What's the URL where they're selling it. I find no mention
of any streaming service, whatsoever, on their webpage.

Is this full live streaming....or, as most of them are, just video CLIPS
of news broadcasts? They gotta sell 'em somewhere. Video URLs in the
firmware are CLIPS, not full streaming media.

includes streaming.

Clips are streaming. HBO Mobile

length episodes. Radio is live.

It says one line about TV, then it reverts into a per-kilobyte old
cellphone data bull**** nonsense:
