Aspiro has today signed an agreement to license out their music streaming and download technology to a leading American player for use in the US and Canada. The agreement is estimated to be worth a minimum of 10 million SEK over three years, with a larger potential.
The streaming solution, which goes by the working title “Wimp” is currently in beta test period with a few thousand users in Norway and Sweden. Aspiro already supplies music download stores to djuice and Telenor in Norway, Sweden and Denmark as well as a common store with Norway's leading music distributor Platekompaniet, which was launched this summer.
- This agreement is another step forward in our efforts in the Music area. When an American player chooses us, we see it as a sign that we have done a good job producing music services for the future, says Gunnar Sellæg, CEO of Aspiro.
