Digital music download service to hit UK in '07

A digital music download service that allows consumers to buy songs instantly as they listen to them on digital radio will start operating across Britain in the first half of 2007, reports Reuters.

"The London-based radio programming producer UBC Media said it had reached agreements with radio companies, record companies and mobile operators to launch the service in London by early 2007 and across the country by May of that year.

... The new mobile phones and radios will track download usage. ... In a statement, the company said listeners would pre-pay for songs using a credit plan similar to the one commonly used for mobile phone calls. "
