BEIJING (AP) - China Unicom Ltd., the country's No. 2 mobile phone carrier, said Tuesday it has started testing a music download service offering subscribers songs from 23 record companies.
The tests come as music and telecommunications firms try to raise sales and curb piracy by providing convenient channels for consumers to legally buy music.
The trial service, called Xuan Qu in Chinese, allows subscribers to download songs to mobile phones for 39 cents to 66 cents each, said Tong Xiaoyu, China Unicom's general manager for value-added services.
