Many of you may already be aware of this, but Cingular has just opened
at least some of their UDP ports. A while back I posted a message
documenting how Cingular blocked the UDP ports that were required for
Real Audio on a phone. While people could use real audio on a laptop
using TCP, it was a no go on cell phones. Well this week my dad was in
the hospital and I spent much on the time in his room. Unfortunately,
the only source of news on the cable network at the hospital was The
Communist News Network(CNN), so I went hunting for other sources. After
messing with my cell phone I discovered that I could stream real audio
with no elaborate settings. Furthermore, I noticed on Cingular's WAP
page that there is a package you can buy(in addition to Media Works) for
$9.99 that allows you to stream 20 major cable network channels to you
phone.
So it appears that Cinuglar had made some additions as to want UDP ports
they allow. I guess it time to check some other applications that
haven't worked previously. I suspect this change was for real audio
products only, but you never know.
Enjoy
