My own guess? Different technology
It's a completely different proposition to offer a range of pre-encoded programmes for 3G than it is to have a plaform stream live TV to both WiFi and 3G.

Perhaps you would prefer to watch programs via Wifi, but that does not help the bill payers who may want to try and watch something on a long car journey or if they are in a holiday cottage where there is no wifi, or the wifi is not working. Not all hotels have wifi or free wifi either. Why should people in these situations be denied the option? Also, I am led to believe that many areas still have poor broadband speeds and people
may get a better viewing experience over 3G. (my knowledge of bb speeds compared to 3g speeds is non-existent, so I may be talking rubbish on that point.)
Be that as it may with the technology, it is something which I imagine could have been rectified in the time between the IOS version launching and the Android version launching. It is still a seriously poor oversight.
