A t the BREW Developers Conference, Kyocera Wireless, a leading global manufacturer of CDMA wireless phones and devices, and Puretracks announced a formal collaboration to bring Puretracks’s digital music store to Kyocera mobile phones, enabling wireless operators without their own music services to offer this service to customers without having to worry about digital rights management (DRM) issues. The solution will allow smaller, regional carriers to take advantage of increased revenues from digital music sales without having to invest in their own wireless services.

 

 

Digital music service provider

As a "white label" digital music services provider, Puretracks's solution allows operators to customize and brand the solution as they see fit, allowing their customers to enjoy a richer multimedia experience without having to abandon their preferred carriers. "Combining the Puretracks back-end with the intuitive, user-friendly music players on Kyocera's phones will help carriers of any size delight their customers while adding a potentially huge revenue stream," said Dave Carey, vice president of strategic planning at Kyocera Wireless Corp. "Creating an online music store traditionally required a heavy investment of time and resources by the carrier, but Puretracks's ‘white label' solution eliminates that burden without sacrificing control or branding."

"Interoperability and portability are everything - subscribers want access to their music whenever and wherever they are, and there's no better way to deliver on that promise today than the mobile phone," said Alistair Mitchell, president and CEO, Puretracks Inc. "Together with Puretracks, Kyocera Wireless is blazing a trail by giving its customers choice and ultimate flexibility to offer music any time, anywhere in both DRM and Non-DRM formats under their own brands to their subscribers." Kyocera Wireless expects to begin shipping phones embedded with Puretracks's digital music store in 2008.
