Free Music by Nokia and Universal

The companies Nokia and Universal are increasing their share of the market of music downloads. Having signed an agreement, they offer a 1-year free access to the music of Universal artists for the purchasers of Nokia’s music phones.

The peculiarity of the service is that the users can save songs on their phones even after the free trial period of 12 months. The user will have to buy Nokia’s phone supporting the service, but at the moment such phones are still not available. The unique PIN-code will supply the users with the access to the music shop where they will be able to download songs to their phones. Nokia is trying to involve other record labels in the participation in the service “Comes With Music,” which the Finnish company is planning to release at the beginning of the next year.

Rob Wells, Senior Vice President for digital operations at Universal, told Reuters:

“I believe the announcement will act as a catalyst for a whole number of business partners to step forward. It’s definitely going to stimulate the business next year. We are moving into an access world. Consumers will have access to all the recorded music available through the price of the device, or the price of service, or the price of broadband.”
