Operators could threaten Motorola’s iTunes plans

Mobile operators could hinder Motorola’s iTunes deal and stop similar plans from other phone manufacturers unless revenue streams are offered to them, according to analysts. “The deal implies that fixed broadband connections are a better way to deliver high quality music downloads than mobile networks,” said Ian Fogg, broadband and personal technology analyst at Jupiter Research Europe. “It suggests that operators hoping to profit from music downloads will be bypassed by PC transfer services like this.”
