Continuing our focus this month on the mobile music space, Mobile World Live interviews Bertis Downs, long-term advisor and manager to global superstars REM. Downs provides a quirky insight into how technology impacted the American band over their 30-year career and gives his view on whether mobile is fulfilling its potential to have a positive effect on artist royalties. Downs also reveals he is keeping an open mind on the chances of a reunion, following REM’s surprise split last year.
