Sprint Will Offer a Radio Service That Plays Music Over Cellphones
Today, Sprint will introduce a radio service that allows people to listen to music over their phones, whether through an earpiece or the phone itself, announces The New York Times. The service, which will cost $5.99 a month, will let customers listen to commercial-free streams of music from channels including R&B/hip-hop, hit list, 80's, 90's, and a combined country and rock. The radio feature, believes Spint, would enable users to have something to do with their phones when they are not using them to talk, play games or send e-mail. Sprint is ratcheting up its programming as it hears the footsteps of potential rivals. It has taken the lead in creating video and audio programming to be streamed over phones, but that lead may not last long. It is expected that in January, Verizon Wireless will introduce content to be streamed over its own high-speed mobile phone network. |
