Siemens has signed an agreement with Hutchison Essar for its music download technology, "Music2You".
This unique, new technology will enable full-length songs to be previewed, purchased, and downloaded on Siemens handsets.
According to Siemens, the move would enable service providers to set up a download service over the Internet or a mobile communication network.
The company also said that the selection of music offerings would comprise titles from a variety of major labels, including local content providers; while the cost of downloads would be charged to the user's wireless telephony bill.
Announcing the new technology, Michael Kuehner, managing director, Siemens, said that music download is today one of the most sought after applications over the mobile, and that globally digital music is creating new benchmarks. Kuehner said that they are proud that Hutchison Essar has chosen to partner with them, in implementing its music download service.
Kuehner said that this technology would also serve to restrict unlawful copying of download music, and that Hutch customers can now purchase their favourite songs at their convenience, anytime, anywhere, on their Hutch phones.
Naveen Chopra, chief marketing officer, Hutchison Essar, elaborated that the new technology would help Hutch customers to download full songs of good sound quality at a faster download speed.
