By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 3 April 2009
Mobile music service provider Omnifone, who provide the back end to Vodafone’s MusicStation in the UK and who are busy preparing Ericsson’s rival to Nokia’s Comes With Music, has announced it will launch its first combined PC/mobile unlimited music offer in Hong Kong.
The new service, which will be called MusicStation Desktop Edition and will be launched in the territory via Omnifone’s tel co partner Hutchison, follows the London-based firm’s announcement back at Midem that it would be bringing the unlimited music offer it has been providing in the mobile space for sometime to PC users through partnerships with both mobile networks and internet service providers.
Confirming the new PC version of MusicStation, Omnifone top man Rob Lewis told CMU: “The introduction of MusicStation Desktop Edition enables our partners to deliver interoperable unlimited music services to PC and mobile, generating significant revenues from digital music consumption. With the music industry facing 95% piracy rates, Omnifone’s subscription based music services provide a legitimate alternative to illegal P2P filesharing, delivering unlimited access to millions of tracks over multiple device platforms”.
