BSkyB – or Sky, as it’s generally known – rules the satellite TV market in the UK, and has begun to wade into broadband. Now it’s planning to start a subscription Internet music service this year, using tracks from the massive Universal catalogue.
Although neither date nor pricing have been set yet, according to the BBC, the tracks, which will be streamed for a flat fee that also allows for a certain number of monthly downloads, will be DRM-free, and so can be played on any device.
Sky had also said that other music business partners might join.
