Title: Music sales thru internet and cell phones
World music sales thru internet and cellular phones triple in 2005, according to the international music records federation based in London.
This means that presently internet and cellular phones represent 6 % share of the world’s market. Of the 6% share, 60% is coming from internet and 40% from cellular phones.
Around 420 millions single titles were unloaded from internet last year 20 times more than in 2003. the Unites States is the first market with 353 millions titles ahead of the United kingdom with 26.4 millions, Germany 21 millions and France with 8 millions.

grow and be kind
I feel as though the cell phone companies are expanding their product capabilities too far. You would be hard-pressed to find a decent cell phone connection from any of the leading providers these days. While they add e-mail, internet browsing, games, music, and who knows what else to our phones, we are constantly dealing with basic technical problems that the technicians can never seem to fix. The problem is, the introduction of cell phones was so revolutionary, it changed our entire outlook on personal communication and availability. The consumers simply rely too much on the product to mind the faulty service. Such is the economics of elasticity:We need the product and demand remains high, despite a lack of intelligent necessary reforms. I would be ecstatic if I could rely on my phone not to drop calls and cut out constantly, but sadly I cannot. I can still browse the internet though, thank god for that.
