London – A consortium that includes We7, Yahoo, BT, the
Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) and digital agency Somethin’ Else has
received an investment of $2.9 million from the U.K. government’s Technology
Strategy Board, earmarked for the development of a cloud-based music streaming
service.

Codenamed "Apollo," the consortium aims to have a working
product by next year.

"The focus for Apollo will be to develop
next-generation personal radio and music services that can work across any
internet-connected device, such as mobiles, tablets and web TVs," the consortium
said.

"Potential plans could include using Facebook’s API to tap into data
and creating hybrid services that combine personalised music and audio
information."
