Virgin Media signs a deal with Spotify

Virgin Media is close to announcing a deal with Spotify and four record companies to launch a new digital music service – more than two years after first unveiling plans to do so.

The negotiations, with a deal now agreed in principle and "all but signed" according to sources, have taken such a protracted amount of time to complete because Virgin Media also had to separately agree terms with Universal Music, EMI, Sony Music and Warner Music as they have the power to veto any deal Spotify does.

Why would anything happen?

Spotify is audio only, and will be audio only on TiVo

Dunno. I think it's certainly something to add value to the services. I have Spotify myself and think it's worth the money,

Seems a fair price, but you never know Virgin may start with deals to get people to signup to this service?

Looking at the press release l would suspect the more services we have already got then the better the chance of a good deal here.
