Omnifone, LG In Deal For Unlimited Music Phone

As expected, U.K.-based music download company Omnifone has signed LG Electronics on to make the first mobile phones that will feature its MusicStation Max unlimited mobile music service. Omnifone has music licensing deals with the four major record labels and many independents for its MusicStation service. Consumers who buy the handsets will have to sign up for a music, voice and data phone plan that will allow them to download music. Phone plans run for 12 to 18 months. After that period, users can either buy a new MusicStation Max device and continue the service or keep their current phone and music library at no additional charge. (Billboard, Mark Mulligan's Blog)
