Music from the ISP is Convenient Pt2

Now, price comes into the convenience picture.

But why would a service like this hook up with the ISPs you ask? Well, the service will need to bill for their offering somehow and getting together with the people that provide the access in the first place seems like a good place to start At least no one else is servicing that area yet so it is an open opportunity to check out. Everyone who pays for access to the internet will have the option to have access to a music store and that is simply convenient. More people will be willing to give money to a central company than multiple companies.

I think that a big challege will be organizing the major record labels to cooperate with each other to create a store at the ISP. Hulu was created by the TV industry to service the TV industry and in a best case scenario the music industry would do the same. If the industry doesn't build it for themselves then someone else will.

After all, piracy is dead so why wouldn't the music industry themselves build a better, more convenient place to download music?

Update: A key is to do what the other stores are not. And, it is best if this comes from the industry itself.
