There are still so throw backs with the 3 play limit for them being a classic one and there is still a lot of hard work to prove ad funded models. However at We7 we have hada tremendous first year acheive many things that people said we would have no chance in doing. People value music more today than any other time and people get confused between 'free' music and someone else pays. Overall I think teh outlook for digital if very promising, many new models will come and go but the ones that are allowed to scale will show teh skeptics teh full overall potential<br>Cheers<br>Steve<br>CEO We7</p>Steve PurdhmFri, 25 Jan 2008 06:05:54 -0000
