The Stockholm-based music streaming service has struck a deal with Telia, which will initially see the company sell Spotify's premium service to their mobile and broadband customers.

Details on Spotify's television plans remain under wraps, however, the company has confirmed it will work with Telia "on some amazing new initiatives in the near future".

A Spotify spokesman confirmed that Telia will launch a service that enables Spotify users to access the service via their digital set top boxes.

Spotify already has a mobile offering that allows subscribers to its premium service to stream and download music on Apple's iPhone via an app, which Apple approved last month.

The deal is the second partnership Spotify has inked with a Swedish ISP after it linked up with Bredbandsbolaget. The tie up -- which has now ended -- enabled Bredbandsbolaget's customers to bundle their Spotify subscription fee with their internet bill.
