Spotify partners with Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom, the owners of T-Mobile, have announced a new partnership with Spotify.

Starting in October, the telco will make 18 million Spotify tracks available to its 35.4 million subscribers in Germany. Making the deal better is the fact that and data usage associated with the streaming app will not count against a user's data usage/limits.

The deal is the second of its kind for Spotify, who has a similar partnership with Virgin Media in the UK.

Additionally, the unlimited streaming company has deals with Yahoo in the U.S., SFR in France and KPN in the Netherlands.

The premium service costs €10 per month for unlimited streaming on mobile devices with no ads.

Spotify has 15 million subscribers in 15 countries and is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry.

But by not having this app take up minutes simply because they own them is discriminating on bandwidth and going against net neutrality. Next thing you know they will purchase 10 other apps and they will be the only apps you can use with tmobile at all beacuse non t-mobile apps will use ur bandwidth and cost you extra.
