Cheap Broadband Deals Could Start Using Spotify to Pull Crowds

Online music provider Spotify has been growing in the UK at a massive rate in the last couple of months, from a virtually unknown piece of software to the latest must have application that has allowed millions of users access to legal music online in UK and other European countries.

The service provides both a free, ad supported package available to anyone and a monthly premium service costing £9.99 and removing adverts, improving musical quality and giving users access to a mobile application to listen to music on the go.

Now we’ve begun to see the first UK ISP ‘bundle’ which includes a Spotify subscription as part of its online service. The company has confirmed it has been working with mobile provider 3 to offer its platform to people who sign up to a 3 contract for the HTC hero mobile phone.

Although it’s only this single deal that’s available right now and non-mobile customers are unable to take advantage of it, it’s likely that 3 will be expanding their range of Spotify bundles in the future. Director of products and services at 3 said:

“This partnership continues our commitment to bring popular internet services to our customers. Over time our deal with Spotify will extend across a range of our products including mobile broadband.”

It’s not really known if this means that 3 have an exclusive contract with Spotify and we won’t be seeing the music service popping up as an additional perk in other mobile broadband and fixed line packages. Either way though, Spotify package deals may be something to keep an eye on if access to the latest and greatest music is something you find important online.
