Music Licensing: Music that Works for You



Music Licensing for Mobile Content

 

BMI and Mobile Music

BMI was one of the first music industry organizations to embrace the emerging mobile music trend in The United States. BMI completed agreements early in 2001 with leading carriers and content providers. To help the music industry gain better perspective on the space, BMI co-produced the Global Wireless Summit, a two day think tank event about mobile music in 2004. BMI’s market projections for the space have been cited by publications including The Wall Street Journal and many others. Members of BMI’s New Media Team regularly participate on panels and in seminars about mobile and other new digital market opportunities for the music business.
