I'm not entirely sure what the hold-up is for other providers, but my Dish account certainly isn't moving at a "slow pace". I can already stream my live TV channels and DVR to my iPad and other devices using my Sling Adapter and the free Dish Remote Access app. A Dish coworker told me about it last year, and I have been successfully streaming ever since. Does NimbleTV really think it's wise for customers to just let them control their TV? Why would anyone pay for a service that still requires you to have a TV provider? They think they are, in some way, cutting out the middleman, but they are actually doing just the opposite!
