MTV and Real to join forces against Apple's iTunes
Source: AppleInsider
____________ Citing people familiar with the matter, the financial paper said MTV and RealNetworks (which runs subscription digital music service Rhapsody), will band together (subscription required) with the common goal of taking on Apple Inc.'s iTunes Store. As part of the deal, MTV will reportedly ditch its MTV Urge download service that it launched last year alongside Microsoft Corp. Meanwhile, the Journal reported that the new service between MTV and Real will tap wireless provider Verizon Wireless to help supply mobile content to users. |

Over on TG Daily they mention MTV as a "sheer marketing horsepower." Yeah, right. If they couldn't make it with Urge, what makes them think they make it with Real? How long has Urge been open? What does this mean for people that have a Zune?
