Great cake for ring tone downloads

Today there are over 100 million cell phones in China. Statistics from China Mobile and China Union, the only two Mobile telecom carriers in China, have shown each cell phone owner especially 16-40 years old expects a characterized rings tone. Therefore the rings tone downloads market is a huge cake in China mainland. Actually each rings tone MP3 will cost you 2-3 RMB (Chinese currency, around 0.3-0.45USD) as you download it from certain website, but this business was mostly occupied by two Mobile telecom carriers.

My friend Morgan Lee has smelled profit in early 1998. He applied a professional website to offer various MP3 rings tone for cell phone download. Compare with China Mobile and China Union, his MP3 are more tasted and have more choices for net-worm, but he couldn’t obtain a coin from this business because no site in China mainland had the admission to make a profit except Mobile telecom carriers in 1998. So he had to put some advertisements on his webpage to keep the site. ‘I am so tired to manage it.’ he complained, ‘you know, the domination and web space is so expensive, and I must pay for some MP3’s copyright I lost money everyday!’ ‘Burning money is a fashion in internet industry, why don’t you directly cooperate with China Mobile? You offer the rings tone content and share the cake with them, is it?’ I suggested.

Morgan did so and got rich in 1999, as a return, till to now I can download any rings tone from his lovely site but still need pay for what need to pay to China Mobile. More recently, Morgan’s team shall promote the site for celebrating the tenth birthday of their site, each viewer who registered the site member will get once free download from all sorts of up-to-date rings tone. Oh, now if you call me you will hear my new rings tone, just this advertisement about the free download, which Morgan himself downloaded the cake for me.
