Nokia wants to add your station

Nokia is inviting radio stations around the world, and here in the UK to submit station details to make your stream available for their new Nokia Internet Radio service. People with S60 3rd edition mobile phones (N95, E90 etc) will be able to stream registered stations via wifi and GPRS.

Nokia Internet Radio users will pick a station from the directory instead of manually entering links to streaming servers or browsing the web. That, Nokia say, is the main reason to be listed in order to let the audience discover and enjoy your station.

Fru Hazlitt, GCap Media chief executive recently announced details of their stations streaming via the iPhone although Apple does not encourage listening via a GPRS or EDGE connection. This service however is designed for listening via mobile phone signals, and with providers such as Nokia getting in on the action, it seems the future of radio could be online.

Any legal radio station can request a free invite, and registration takes less than five minutes. For more information click here.
