Brief: Nokia makes deal with WiFi provider The Cloud to offer free access to Music Store
By Stefan Constantinescu on Monday, December 10th, 2007 at 12:11 PM PST In Nokia
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) signed a deal with a WiFi provider known as The Cloud, if you’ve ever been in airport surely you’ve heard of them, that will give users of the Nokia Music Store access to the service. My only question is why not give them free internet too? Brand it as “Comes with internet.”
Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has Starbucks, Nokia has The Cloud.

Update: I’ve been schooled. The iPhone as of firmware 1.1.2 in the UK has access to “The Cloud” as well. Will wrote about that here. What can I say, I don’t care about the iPhone.
The price of Nokia phones alone should justify giving us free internet.
Apple has been offering “free” The Cloud Wi-Fi use for all iPhone users in the U.K. since the beginning of November!
Sounds like you’re not up on your Apple news.
You’re right. I don’t follow Apple news.
But you DO watch every Steve Jobs Keynote eh?
This is great news and Nokia also
During the event the company announced Nokia Comes With Music, a revolutionary program that enables people to buy a Nokia device with a year of unlimited access to millions of tracks from a range of great artists - past, present and future. Once the year is complete, customers can keep all their music without having to worry about it disappearing when their subscription is over
The program will launch with Universal Music Group International, and Nokia is in discussion with the remaining major international labels.
Looks like Nokia brings great stuff for music , games and movies http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1174623
Yea, I watch every keynote. Those are interesting because of how he presents.
Serkoart, Nobody watch Steve Jobs and nobody follow apple news , maybee some who been fooled by Steve and join the apple fanclub , and iphone have only sold very very little in UK, few hundred.
I think what’s really going to be interesting is wireless access to internet radio and downloads via wi-max (wi-fi’s big brother that covers miles versus meters).
