Apple may begin selling subscriptions to podcasts via itspopular iTunes service begining as early next year.
Although Apple currently offers a full podcast directory, allof the listed content--from both individuals and growing numberof companies--is available for free; however, that may changesoon. According to a Macworld UK report, Apple will beginoffering fee-based podcasts through iTunes in early 2006.
The report draws from a press release from new company--calledWhat I Want Podcasting--that promises to offer podcasts for salethrough iTunes "in the very near future." The company says itwill offer live performance footage from the Air Jamaica Jazzand Blues festival which takes place in late January 2006.
"We have developed exclusive video invitations from artistsappearing at the festival and created a promotional podcastconcert series. We then distributed it throughout the Web, oniTunes, podcast directories, Google Video, and many morewebsites." says Martin Elmore, president of What I WantPodcasting.
"In the very near future, we are going to offer podcasts forsale on iTunes, which will feature clips of the concert thisJanuary 26-28."
