Musicians vie for mobile success
Fifteen aspiring bands are bidding to have a song released on a national mobile phone network in the US before they even have a record deal. The BBC reports
"They have been selected from a total of 4,033 entrants in a contest being held by US mobile operator Verizon Wireless and online community service MySpace.com.
It is now up to the MySpace community, which totals 37.7 million unique visitors worldwide according to audience measurement company ComScore Networks, to vote for their favourites."
... The winning band will see their song released as a download on the music service on VCast, the third-generation mobile service from Verizon.
It will also be made into a ringtone and a ringback tone. A music video will be made of the song which people can see either on MySpace.com or on VCast phones. "
