Time for a probe into this overpriced and artifivially inflated market, surely.
These scumbag ringtone pushers charge kids over £3 for a snippet of "music" that can be bought as a complete iTunes track for 99p. If there were true competition in this marketplace, prices should fall to 50p a ringtone - one must conclude that ringtone sellers conspire to artificialy keep prices up. That would be illegal.
Meanwhile, iTunes is investigated for differential pricing within Europe, (99p here, 79p there..) when in every other respect it generally provides an excellent and reasonably-priced service, despite it market dominance.
