Napster Teams up with Ericsson

Napster has teamed up with Ericsson to develop a wireless version of Napster's online music service that can deliver full-length songs directly to wireless phones. The two companies hope wireless providers around the world will begin to offer the product to their subscribers before the end of 2005. Napster's push into wireless services highlights how the music industry is moving to tap wireless phone networks as a distribution channel.
