Ufone supports revival of music industry in Pakistan

Ufone, continuing with its trend of innovation in launching new products and services, has launched a new portal named Taazi.com, in collaboration with Unicorn Black, to support the music industry in Pakistan, where existing and upcoming artists, record labels and content providers will be able to sell a variety of content, ranging from songs to videos, by simply creating a free account. This initiative is again the first and one of its kinds, enabling artists to sell their content online while retaining copyrights.
