Mobile music video service Napster Clips debuts in Japan

Napster has just launched its first mobile music video service, Napster Clips in Japan. This new service puts a premium on unlimited access to a high-quality digital video service that would complement Napster’s music subscription service. In partnership with Japan’s NTT Docomo, Napster is offering this service via the mobile operator’s new N960IL onefone mobile handset.
Napster Clips is highly dependent on the broadband network which is ably supported by NTT Docomo’s communication infrastructure. Hence users are assured of a continuous video viewing experience from the N906il handset through either NTT Docomo’s 3G/FOMA network or the new Home U service. The latter is a high speed wireless LAN connection through home broadband network.
And to celebrate the launch of its mobile video service, Napster is offering up 6-months free subscription to Napster To Go audio and video music subscription service, to the first 20,000 customers who get the N960iL onefone. Napster To Go would will allow users to view videos through their N906iL handset as well as download songs through their over the air service.
Although Napster Clips seems to be a pretty good service, this is not enough reason to get excited about the possibility of the service hitting the US market. The fact that is it being made available to the Japanese market instead of the US only goes to show that services like this may not see the light of day in the US due to piracy and copyright issues.
