SK Telecom Launches Ubiquitous Digital Music Service

skt_melon.jpg SK Telecom launches Monday a ubiquitous music portal service called MelOn, that users can enjoy whenever, wherever, on whatever devices they want, reports Seong-ju Lee for Telecoms Korea.

"MelOn service provides music streaming and limitless download and play through mobile and fixed-line network during the contract period for 5,000 won per month ($ 4,60.) After one month period is expired, digital right management or DRM system restricts the access to the sound source.

Accordingly, the new service is expected to calm the users' complaints about high price charged for downloading separate song and protect the sound source owners' rights from illegal copy, transmission and free music download services."
