Music downloads free with broadband packages

Some of the major music companies have seen the light and started to talk with the UK ISP’s with a view of providing a free or low costing music download system for their subscribers. How this will be operated is not yet known, but there are several possibilities.

The music industry has two ways that could work for them. This can either be, a free download of all music that has had the cost added into certain packages, this would work well as many people are used to buying packages for TV, phone and broadband. Or alternatively subscribers could add the music package to their existing packages.

This is a bold move by the music industry, and indeed is something that they have had to do in order to get a grip on the internet and the way that people are using it. By making their products easily available and reasonable in cost too, is the way forward.
