Cingular to sell ringtones from MySpace bands
By
Cingular Wireless recently announced it plans to sell ringtones from bands that put their music on MySpace.com, the social Web site that is popular among teenagers. This goes to show just how big of an influence community sites like MySpace are having on the market and I think it is good that companies tap into the sector.
Customers will be able to preview ringtones and buy them on the MySpace Web site, which will then send them to their cellphone. Cingular plans to charge about $2.50 for each 30 second ringtone and will give the bands 25 percent of the proceeds. The rest of the money will be split between Cingular and InfoSpace Inc., which is helping to create and select the ringtones for Cingular.
