P990, Image from Sony


I recently talked about the danger for telcos to wait with a customer friendly flat rate in regard to the iPod and PSP. Here is another example how Sony circumvents telcos:

The guys from Digitalsushi just talked about a new answer to the TV on the Phone question. Take a P990 or a PSP and use Locationfree (Locationsfree also works for the PC or TV). In the words of Sony:

You never have to leave your home entertainment behind again. With LocationFree® you can stream TV or movies from your home over broadband internet to your PSP™ system– virtually anywhere in the world. At home, simply connect your A/V components (TV, DVD Player or DVR) and broadband internet to your LocationFree® Base Station. On the road, connect your PSP™ system to a wireless hotspot and click on the LocationFree® icon to start streaming your favorite TV programs.
