ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS AND SPOTIFY JOIN FORCES TO BRING FIDO CUSTOMERS UNBEATABLE STREAMING MUSIC EXPERIENCE

Rogers Communications Inc. has teamed up with Spotify to bring the world's most innovative music streaming service to Fido customers' smart phones and tablets. This exclusive agreement will give Fido customers a free 24-month subscription to Spotify Premium, so you can stream to your heart's content. Plug in and escape any time, anywhere, and listen to anything you are into.

With over 30 million songs, amazing artists and personalized playlists, Spotify Premium will transform your device into the ultimate, all-access ticket to music. Music streaming could not get easier; Spotify Premium lets you instantly stream ad-free music, with unlimited skips, and even download and listen to your tunes off-line. And when connected to Rogers' great LTE wireless network, Spotify Premium will give you access to crisp, clear and consistently fast music streaming on any wireless device.

"We know our customers love to stream music, and Spotify is the obvious choice for us," said Raj Doshi, who is the top dog at Fido. Mobile music streaming in Canada is on the rise, with more than half of Canadians between the ages 18 to 34 streaming music on their mobiles. And Canada is not alone -- with over six billion songs streamed on-line in the last six months of 2014, music streaming is exploding around the globe.

"We are excited to be in Canada, and working with Rogers allows us to reach millions of mobile Canadians," said Michael Abbattista, global head of telecom/ISP partnerships, Spotify.

Stay tuned for more updates on how Fido customers can start streaming Spotify Premium with their wireless plans.
