Default Music Download Vending Machines Set For Britain

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=6815368&src=rss/technologyNews&section=news

"The first vending machines to sell music downloads are to be introduced in London next month as Britons continue to turn their backs on traditional methods of buying singles. Customers will be able to download a single for about one pound onto a mobile phone or personal music player and the company launching the project said on Monday they hoped to initially offer two million songs. The move follows continuing poor sales for traditional, over-the-counter singles ... Inspired Broadcast Networks will open two music kiosks in Waterloo and King's Cross stations next month and plan to have up to 20,000 others in high-street shops, service stations and pubs by the end of 2005."



20K kiosks?! Wow, that is quite an investment. It would have been nice to see if the concept even took off before jumping in headlong.
