The UK music downloads market could generate up to £200m a year for internet service providers such as BSkyB and Virgin Media within three years, according to a new report.

British music industry trade body the BPI estimates that the UK’s major ISPs - BT, Virgin Media, BSkyB, O2, Orange and TalkTalk - could make between £100m and £200m a year between them by 2013 by bundling legal download services with the broadband packages they already offer.
