Mobile music 10 times larger than iTunes
... according to this report, that's been out since November 2005.
Mobile music here means also all kinds of ringtones and not just realtones and full songs. Even so, the market is clearly key to the mobile industry. Maybe Apple should sell ringtones too?
Some interesting quotes:
Mobile operators will gradually move to “all you can eat” flat rate pricing to lift the ceiling from the data market. Operators stand to save $300 per user per year by using subscription based entertainment services to prevent churn.
Japan continues to lead the market, accounting for nearly 40% of the 5 billion ringtones downloaded globally in 2005.
