Two services

The agreement would cover two different music streaming services. That associated with YouTube, with two formulas, a free advertising-funded and pay that would free, but also a second associated with its Google Play platform.

The recent signing with Universal and Sony could be an opportunity for an ad with great fanfare on Tuesday at the Google I / O of the Mountain View firm conference.
