Probably what's holding back the service from launching in the US is the amount of money the majors demand here for any music based service.

They're thinking in the short term of getting wads of upfront cash as opposed to dishing out rates that are fair enough to let the business grow which in turn will mean they can charge more down the line.

Very interesting…as the music industry look at how they monetize, the mobile web provides an excellent opportunity. The user experience for payment on the mobile is much better than the PC web and users continually pay for content that they wouldn't pay for on their PC.

Content such as the above and the music videos that youtube has just lost can be paid for on the mobile web and then "consumed", via a common account, from PC and mobile.
