Salsa ringtones, the next big thing

Wireless companies and record labels see salsa music as the next ring with bling for cellular phones, according to LA Daily News.

"Both industries are attempting to gain leverage in the Latin ringtone market, offering more merengue as a hook for Hispanic consumers. Industry executives say the demographic is relatively untapped for companies that sell ringtones.

The United States accounts for roughly 10 percent of the $3 billion ringtone industry. Mexico and South America account for a fraction of that now, but present a potential treasure trove for ringtone retailers."
