Vodafone Australia launches Omnifone’s MusicStation
Monday, September 22nd, 2008
It’s a big month Down Under for Omnifone. The mobile music firm launched its MusicStation service with Vodafone in New Zealand last week, and today has gone live with Voda in Australia, boasting that it’s the country’s first unlimited mobile music download service.
It’s launching with a catalogue of over a million tracks, and will cost AU$2.75 a week ($2.30). All four major labels are on board, along with local firms Destra, Shock, Liberation Music and All Killer, among others.
“Today’s announcement is a huge leap forward for the Australian music industry,” says Karen Paterson, head of Live services at Vodafone Australia. At launch, the service works on eight handsets only, according to Vodafone’s website.
