To keep Gary’s documentation of his past entry named Predictions and More Speculation on a Google Music Service going, I have found an FT.com article which shows Google (as well as Amazon) is “in talks with music industry executives about new digital music services that could break Apples grip on the fast-growing market for legal downloads.”
A chief executive of one large music company reportedly has told Financial Times that “We have had active communications in the last 60 days” with Amazon and Google. Google supposedly is not as far advanced with communications and plans as Amazon is but Google is serious about it.
