The Register - Motorola: iTunes phone no-show due to Apple

The Register - Motorola: iTunes phone no-show due to Apple:
"With no over-the-air music downloads planned, at least not initially, the iTunes phone offers little direct revenue opportunity for the networks. However, the iPod halo effect may be enough persuade them that the handset offers them a way of attracting new customers and upgrade business."

This is old news I guess but a good example of how the cell-phone networks are trying to milk the market as much as they possibly can. Sooner or later the Ring-tones and Phone-images are going to be both dead markets.
