Starting shot for Vodafone Music Unlimited
The communications group's organisation of the festival signalises that it will be stepping up its activities in the music scene, reflecting the fact that Vodafone is market leader and innovation driver in the German mobile music market. It operates the most successful mobile music download shop in Germany and the third-largest digital music shop. Involvement in Music Unlimited Cologne and the shop's range of more than one million songs in all genres also puts the spotlight on Vodafone's innovative and customer-oriented products such as the Vodafone Music Manager and the Mobile Music Client – solutions that simplify and enhance the convenience of downloading and administrating music on mobile phones and PCs.
