Business News Deals Digital
AT&T acquires Muve Music operator
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 15 July 2013
While AT&T is reportedly in talks with Beats about the possibility of bundling the headphone firm’s in-development streaming music service when it launches later this year, the American telecoms giant has just acquired a streaming service all of its own.
It was confirmed last week that AT&T had bought Leap Wireless, which in turns owns US mobile service Cricket Wireless and its popular Muve Music streaming set-up. What the deal means for AT&T partnering with Beats or others in the digital music space isn’t yet clear.
