Virgin Media's planned music download service is set to launch without
an unlimited top-tier offering. Unnamed sources have told The Register
that the top-tier will offer 40 MP3 downloads for GBP 15 per month,
instead of offering unlimited downloads as promised by Virgin when it
announced the plans with Universal Music in June. The service will
offer unlimited streaming. A Virgin spokesperson told The Register that
it was still working towards offering an unlimited download package.
Sources indicate that Sony Music appears to be blocking the plans, but
added that Virgin was still hoping for a launch before Christmas.
