Like a giant game of Risk, Sling Media continues marching towards world domination of mobile television slinging. Today the company announced a foothold in the Scandinavian region of the globe under the guise of Viasat Everywhere. Viasat is the largest free- and pay-TV service in the area; mobile Swedes can now purchase a Slingbox, er..a Viasat Everywhere unit at 2.695 Swedish Kronor, which I peg at $375 US. That sounds high to me, but it could be my currency conversion, courtesy of XE.com.
Not to be left out, Denmark and Norway will soon have the device available. Hey, why should the Swedes be the only ones to sling television to the outdoor sauna? Check out the full press release over at Sling.
