BT Weighs in on Music Subscription Offering

 
Virgin Media has been out ahead of the pack in the UK when it comes to music plans, but BT might finally be moving in for the kill on its own music services. 

“We are very keen to launch a music service in the near future, but it will have to be with a model that customers will want and can work financially for BT,” the company told PC Pro. “We are in the early development stage so we are not currently in a position to comment further.”
According to leaked reports, BT expects to launch the service before Q3 and will likely not charge for the service for the first six to nine months, likely signaling it’ll offer the service for free to its customers before introducing a charging system — likely a premium offering such as mobile support. 

Spotify is said to be interested in the service and is currently in talks over integration.
