Perspectives- Consolidations in the Music Industry- UMG, Sony and Warner will continue to focus on market

shares- Few global services will have much of the power- Streaming will be the dominant music consumer technology - New markets opening (Deezer, iTunes, Spotify, Google,

Nokia etc)- The growth in advanced markets will flatten out- Phonofile; organic growth and potential strategic

partnerships
