Musicstation service free to £40 contract customers?

Following our earlier news of Vodafone's agreement with Omnifone to offer their Musicstation service to its customers, further rumours have appeared to suggest the network will offer Musicstation free to any monthly subscribers spending £40 a month or more on an 18 month contract.

This move could be a strong preventative step in the bid to stop customers moving to Apples iPhone when O2 launch it on 9th November.
The Musicstation package retails at £1.99 per week but these 'premium' customers would be given access to unlimited dowloads for free. The service will be pre-loaded on some new Vodafone handsets in its Christmas line up and available through Vodafone Live! on others.
