A group of wireless companies (both equipment makers and service providers) and representatives from the music industry in Europe are working together to try to come up with a plan to offer music on mobile phones. The idea is that by working together from the beginning, they hope to avoid having to compete with a “wireless Napster”. If negotiations between the tech industry and Hollywood in the US are any indication, this may be slow going.
