AT&T announced today it will begin offering over the air downloads of Napster's entire song catalog in mid-November. Subscribers will be able to buy a bundle of 5 songs for $7.50 or pay $1.99 for individual tracks. AT&T has a similar agreement with eMusic. Although this is twice the cost of downloads on the iPhone or from competitors like Sprint, AT&T believes that young music fans will pay the premium. AT&T did not specify which phones will be compatible with this download service or if it is only limited to 3G coverage.

OTA Music Downloads...
...will never be popular if carriers continue to charge by the song. Why not charge a monthly recurring fee of $9.99 - $14.99 for unl downloads? I don't believe charging $.99 - $1.99 per track is even remotely attractive considering once you purchase the tracks, you are still just "renting" them. Lame ๐ .
What do you mean by "once you purchase the tracks, you are still "renting" them."???
It can be downloaded from OTA and directly to the memory card can't it?
Why would you pay Them for music downloads when you can load your own music on the phone? Im missing something. ๐
Using you're brilliant theory, iTunes is a service that has not found it's target audience yet, and has not been a profitable service for Apple nor a functional service for consumers! What were you thinking as you typed your post? ๐คจ
