Nokia “Comes With Music” Thanks To Universal
Unlimited music downloads for a year on Nokia music phones!
Straight from the mouth of one of our product managers who is in Amsterdam at a Nokia event: Starting mid 2008, Nokia music phones will be shipping with one year of unlimited free music downloads from Universal Music Group. What makes this even more interesting is that you will be able to keep all of the music you downloaded after your 12 months is up!
"This is how the consumers will consume music going forward. This is a step towards where this business we believe will be moving to in two to three years time.” – Rob Wells, Senior VP of Digital Operations, Universal.
No word yet on who’s paying who on the business side. Also no word on potential fees the consumer will be required to pay. We’ll try to keep you updated as new details of this deal surface.
