Okay, that was funny!
But you got one thing wrong. They would charge $2.99 just like the cellular providers do! That's the good side of being a (near) monopoly.
I notice an article fairly recently (within the last few days) that said people were not embracing phone-based music players. I think the $2.99 a tune charge is a big reason why.

Probably. I have a cell phone. That's all it is. It doesn't play music, take pictures, or record video. It looks ugly by today's standards, but so what? My phone is not a status symbol. It's a tool to keep me connected for personal and business reasons.
