Nokia Music expands into more Asian markets
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 24 October 2013
Nokia has announced it is launching its Nokia Music service in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, following a recent move into Indonesia. The announcement possibly means the phone firm has recognised that its various music endeavours have had more success (aka some success) in emerging markets where there is less competition.
Speaking about the target territories for Nokia Music, the firm’s Jyrki Rosenburg told MusicAlly: “We have recognised the importance of music for consumers in these markets. South Africa is another example where we’ve been there for several years already, and some of the major players are not there. Places like China and India are very important for us, and we’ve made great progress there. And now we have the music service for our Asha range of devices in Russia too”.
