Nice story - but the mobile music download service is a actualy the result of a great deal of work under the Eureka 147 protocol ("DAB Radio") and is delivered from the RadioScape Multiplex system that powers the vast majority of the DAB Radio Infrastructure in the UK. DAB is a well established and progressive medium outside of the USA - that is taking on board the Augmented services (such as Digital Music Down load (DMD) - Electronic Programme guide (EPG)that are becoming the mainstay of this progressive technology.
