AT&T to Offer Customers Free Napster

AT&T said Monday that it had come to an agreement with Napster to bring the music service's offerings to both its broadband and wireless subscribers. Customers would receive one year of free service to Napster to Go, which would also allow them to transfer songs to compatible portable devices. Service would be made available beginning April 1 to wireless customers with qualifying plans, as well as customers with qualifying 'triple pack' bundles of wireless, home phone and broadband services.

"Merging communications with entertainment -- in this case, linking Napster To Go's rich library of music to our wireless and broadband services -- again shows that we are committed to delivering enhanced content across key screens both at home and on the go," AT&T Consumer chief marketing officer Rick Welday said in prepared remarks.
