Following the successful launch of its Ring-Up-Tones at the CeBIT in 2004, Vodafone D2 is now vastly expanding its capacities for this value-added service based on ECT’s Ring Back Tone Application. ECT, Europe’s market leader for intelligent value-added services in fixed-line and mobile networks, won the follow-up contract for the realisation of the project. “The ring back tone service has been very successful across Europe and has emerged as a profitable application for mobile carriers,” said Dr. Marshall E. Kavesh, CEO and co-founder of the ECT Group. “I am very pleased that the successes we predicted for this innovative service have been realised so quickly.” [PRWEB Mar 18, 2005]

Render Ring Tones with PHP


Render Ring Tones with PHP 05/12/2004 07:08 AM

PHP Composer: I nominate this as the most uselessly cool programming tool I've ever seen.

This class is meant to render images of the musical score of ring tones notes used in cellular phones, defined in the RTTL format.

It parses the RTTL ring tones string to extract the information about the author, duration, scale, beats per minute and the notes of the tune.

Then it renders the score image using a customizable logo and an appropriate TrueType font to render the notes in the score.

RTTL, it turns out, stamds for "Ring Tone Transfer Language." You can find out more about the protocol here.

04/18/2005 03:08 PM

ringback.jpgRingback tones, which aren't terribly new, are little snippets of music that play instead of the usual ringing you hear when calling someone’s cell phone. Verizon just teamed up with Universal Music, they of Mariah Carey and U2 fame, in order to offer 500+ beloved hits. Verizon uses the universal iconography of music—dancing silhouettes—to explain.

Verizon announced ringbacks last November for $1.99 a year plus a 99 cent monthly subscription. I can’t wait to regale my friends and family with a tinny ringback rendition of Baby Bash's Super Saucy.

Will Walmart's Entrance Signal Download
Store Price Wars?


Will Walmart's Entrance Signal Download
Store Price Wars?
12/18/2003 09:54 PM
I've been wondering how long the $0.99/song price for music could hold. Already, some say that the dollar a song price is too much, and basic competition would suggest that the prices will get driven down over time. The floor at this point is the $0.67 that the labels demand from each song sold. So far, the various download stores have mostly (though not completely) held the line at a dollar. Sooner or later, though, you had to know that someone would realize they could get more attention by going lower, and who else but the leader in "everyday low pricing" Walmart? They're testing their new download store with songs at $0.88 per song. Hello, price wars! Of course, they know that they'll be losing money on this offering, but they see it as a loss leader to get people to buy other stuff at Walmart.com. So, if the price war continues, at what point will someone realize that, since they're just using the music as a loss leader anyway, they don't mind paying the $0.67 themselves. For example, Apple already says they're losing money on iTunes, but more than making it up on iPods. Wouldn't they sell more iPods if the music were even cheaper? It's an optimization question of "how low do you go?" until the cost of the music outweighs the benefit of selling more other stuff. However, if the music really is acting as incentive to buy other (high priced, high margin) goods, you'd think they'll eventually be willing to go pretty damn low.
