Music Streaming Service Spotify Inks Deal With Germany?s Deutsche Telekom In Telco?s Wider Media Push

Add one more distribution partner to Spotify's list as it seeks more scale for its music streaming service to make it more profitable: Deutsche Telekom, owners of T-Mobile, says that beginning in October, it will be making 18 million tracks from Spotify available to its 35.4 million customers in Germany, with the data usage associated with the streaming not counting against subscribers' data limits. The agreement is part of a larger push at the German operator to expand its media operations around the IFA consumer technology show in Berlin this week. The Spotify deal sounds similar to one that the music company has with Virgin Media in the UK, in which the cable operator bundles Spotify with its premium subscriptions and makes it available over its connected TV service, as a way of driving more subscribers to its pay-TV service.
