Google’s All Access music service just launched earlier this summer, and according to a new report from Billboard, the company is looking to get it into the hands of even more consumers. The site is reporting that Google is in talks with Verizon to bundle All Access subscriptions with smartphone plans by allowing them to add the $9.99 bill on to their existing monthly fee. While it doesn’t look like Verizon customers would get any sort of advantage over other customers, it would give Google another outlet to promote the service and make the process more seamless.
A deal with Google Play Music All Access would allow Verizon to offer an on-demand music service to its 100 million wireless subscribers. Google would gain a powerful distribution partner that could seamlessly fold the monthly $9.99 fee for its service into subscribers’ cellphone deal.
It’s unclear what sort of advantages Verizon would get, though Google is allegedly pitching that it would make customers happy.
Google is currently offering 6 months of All Access free to people who purchase a new DROID phone, so this deal would not be anything too groundbreaking.
