Sprint to Offer Mobile Version of Pandora

By the Betanews Staff | Published May 23, 2007, 1:11 PM

Sprint said Wednesday that it is offering personalized streaming radio channels through a partnership with Pandora, the free Internet radio service which creates personalized music stations based on what types of music a user likes and dislikes. While the service is free for the first 30 days, the service will carry a $2.99 per month charge thereafter.

While only Sprint is carrying the music service right now, Pandora says it would like to offer its services on other carriers eventually. The company did not specify, however, who it was discussing offering the service through.

I believe that Pandora is currently operating on zero profit, so it would make sense for this to be the beginning of them being profitable.

Great timing. Just when Pandora is looking at zero net profit after the CRB and SoundExchange get done raping them.
