iBus® will offer an exciting new service for music enthusiasts by combining the special features of an Apple store with those of an internet café. iBus® is a mobile entertainment hub that will tour all of the UK’s finest festivals and gigs. iBus® will be a magnet for the iPod generation of today, enabling customers to either download exclusive iBus® iTunes, surf the net or purchase first-class Apple merchandise.
iBus® is the answer to the abiding demand of new and creative music ventures. By collaborating with innovative brand leader Apple, iBus® is able to create an exclusive forum for communication and entertainment through the medium of public internet access. In today’s increasingly mobile society, fast and easy internet access has quickly become a necessity of life. However at most festivals, internet access is still a rarity, which would make iBus® the sole provider of this service. This fact, in addition to the significant demand of iPods and iTunes, presents iBus® with a chance to seize this window of opportunity and enter into a profitable niche.
