Deutsche Telekom announced an exclusive deal to offer unlimited Spotify music streaming in Germany as an add-on option for its mobile and broadband customers.
Beginning in October 2012, customers will be able to listen to more than 18 million music titles via their mobile phone, tablet and PC – both online offline. Music streamed from Spotify will not count against any data volume caps.
The Spotify app is available for desktop, tablet PCs and a range of mobile platforms including iPhone, Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry. Spotify also has a handy Offline mode, which means that you can sync up to 3,333 tracks to up to three devices, for you to enjoy wherever you are, with or without internet access, such as on a plane, train or on the beach.
The exclusive cooperation agreement will be valid for at least one year.
Deutsche Telekom said the deal represents another important step for its partnering strategy.
“Music streaming is the business model of the future, and we are proud to be the first German telecommunications provider to offer our customers the pleasure of unlimited music as part of our tariffs. Spotify is an outstanding partner for this endeavor,” says Niek Jan van Damme, Management Board Member of Deutsche Telekom for Germany.
