Australian telco Telstra and music streaming service MOG have announced a partnership that will see MOG available in Australia in the coming months.

In a statement released by Telstra overnight, the company announced the exclusive deal that will also offer unmetered music streaming via the NextG network for Telstra customers.

“Telstra’s network superiority means customers will receive the best music experience with MOG through faster download speeds, faster streaming and no data costs for using the service,” Telstra Executive Director of Media, Applications and User Experience, J-B Rousselot said in the statement.

Music, streamed at 320kbps over the Internet, will be available for all Australians, but will only be unmetered for Telstra customers.

“Australia is a key, major music market and we’re pleased to be the sole provider of on-demand streaming music for the leading telecommunications provider in Australia,” CEO and founder of MOG, David Hyman said.

“With Telstra’s superior network music lovers will get the best streaming experience from MOG’s entire catalogue of on-demand music from wherever they are and we’re making it easier than ever to do so.”

Music streaming services are flocking to Australia this year, with JB Hi-Fi leading the pack with its Now service, Rdio recently launching and Spotify on the cards for a not-to-distant launch.
