Verizon Wireless is partnering with MTV and RealNetworks to deliver a comprehensive digital music service that stretches across PCs, MP3 players and cell phones. MTV and Real have formed a new company called Rhapsody America, which will offer MTV’s URGE content via Real’s technology. Verizon has teamed up with this new entity and will add its V CAST Music service to the mix, allowing subscribers over-the-air access to Rhapsody content, which includes album art, music, ringtones and videos, from their handsets. In addition, Verizon stated that it will offer phones that can hold up to 8GB of media by the end of this year, and 16GB in 2008. Music from Universal will be DRM free from the start, and Real’s other DRM-free music will be added over time. Verizon did not state what format the OTA tracks would be available in, nor anything on pricing or when the full service will launch.
