Verizon Ending Monthly Music Download Fee
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Verizon Wireless is dumping the monthly 15 dollar fee for its music download service, as it switches to a new marketing effort. The move comes as it launches a cell phone featuring an iPod-like click wheel and a memory card that can hold up to a-thousand songs. The new "Chocolate" handset, made by L-G Electronics, features software that will let users play their own M-P-three format music on the device in addition to songs purchased from Verizon's music store. Songs purchased from the V Cast Music store, priced at a dollar-99 each, can be downloaded twice: once over the cellular network to the phone, and once over the Internet to a computer. The Chocolate phone also can play songs that users copy from their own music collections in the M-P-three format."
This makes a lot of sense if Verizon wants to popularize its service any further. V Cast Music store will now sell songs for $1.99 each.
