Cell phone users provide musical interlude for callers

It's USA Today's turn to publish an article on ringtones and ringback tones.

"T-Mobile on Wednesday rolls out "Caller Tunes," which plays 40-second song snippets to your caller until you answer — at $1.99 a pop. Tunes range from Beyoncé's Baby Boy to holiday classics. Verizon Wireless began testing a similar "ringback" service in two California markets last month.

[...] Michael Gartenberg at market-tracker Jupiter Research thinks ringbacks could be a tough sell. "There are those who will love it, and others who find it annoying," he says."
