RealNetworks, Sprint Will Offer Radio via Phones

cellphoneathemic.gif Sprint Nextel Corp. and RealNetworks Inc. today plan to introduce an Internet radio service for Sprint wireless customers, in another step by U.S. carriers to add music capabilities to mobile phones, reports the WSJ.

"The deal is the first to bring a portion of the Rhapsody music service, from Seattle-based RealNetworks, to wireless phones. Rhapsody Radio for Sprint PCS customers has a half-dozen channels of music programs.

... Rhapsody Radio allows users to listen to "streams," or broadcasts, of music programming that require a constant connection to Sprint's wireless network."
