Liquid Audio’s former VP Dick Wingate has started BPOD Network, a wireless music startup, and hopes to offer downloadable songs for about $2 each. Sprint, Warner Music already have a deal.
Wingate expects a deal with a major mobile phone company that would offer downloadable songs within two months, potentially reaching millions of customers in more than 30 states. The downloads would be made available through DotPhoto, a digital media software company that New York-based BPOD is assisting.
Sprint PCS and Warner Music Group are days away from offering an online jukebox with full-length songs that customers can play on their cell phones.
