Market shifts from ringtones to music tracks
Not surprisingly Juniper Research expects a shift from ringtone downloads to full track downloads to mobile phones. Also here I'm sure single track sales will dominate, similar to iTunes and similar services. Juniper estimates the shift to take a couple of years, to be 50-50 by 2011. This is number of downloads though, not revenue. Revenue-wise I believe the shift will come quicker.Telecoms Analysis Reports from Juniper Research - Mobile Music- Ringtones, Full Track Downloads & Streaming, 2006-2011 (3rd Edition)
