Will we need to sign up with a for-pay service to use the 3G options?

But even the for-pay services are vulnerable to security breeches.

Napster, which has been offline since a court order in July, is seeking to build its own for-pay service.

Phil Schiller said during Tuesday's keynote that it will eventually be a for-pay service, and naturally, Apple has not yet revealed how much it plans to charge.

The two services said they intended to offer for-pay services for license by the end of the summer.

"Napster is very slow compared to the new trading sites," he said, adding that if Napster did emerge again, it would be a for-pay service.

The future of Napster, however, depends on its ability to transform itself into a for-pay service.

Napster itself has sought to create a for-pay service, which would charge consumers a monthly fee for access to music.

Bertelsmann has said it hopes to use Napster's technology and its brand recognition to create a for-pay service that will compensate record companies for their works.

Meanwhile, rival free services like Kazaa and Morpheus took over its niche, and the record companies began experimenting with for-pay services of their own.
