Unlimited music from Nokia to Australia and Singapore

World's top mobile phone maker, Nokia, plans to roll out its unlimited music service in Australia and Singapore. The mobile maker is also eyeing further expansion in Europe and the United States.

According to Tero Ojanpera, the head of entertainment and communities at Nokia, "the next two countries which we are going to roll out in the next 10 weeks are going to be in Asia, in Australia and Singapore. We'll be launching there in the first quarter of 2009, in February and March."

Like any organization trying to sell music, Nokia needs to secure rights agreements with both the recorded music side of the business and the publishing side.

Nokia's tagline "Comes With Music" service offers unlimited music from the four major music labels and many independents. The music can be kept even after the yearly contract has expired.

The individual tracks can be downloaded to the phone and a single computer and are free, though the cost of the music is reflected in the price of the phone itself.
