BlackBerry, the Canadian smartphone maker, is scrapping paid music-sharing service BBM Music in June following a review of its strategy.
BBM Music, which cost $4.99 a month, will be discontinued on June 2, and subscribers will be given 30 days free access to the RDIO music service, the Waterloo, Ontario-based company said today in an e-mail. BlackBerry didn’t elaborate on why the service, which began in August 2011, was shutting down or whether it was profitable.
