Telstra is officially shuttering the doors of MOG Australia. The streaming music service that has already been shut down in the US has finally taken its last breath down under. It comes as no surprise that smaller streaming services like MOG are falling by the wayside as Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play Music and Pandora continue to swallow the market. There’s no solid numbers as to how many users MOG Australia actually had but they will all lose access to everything MOG come August 31st. Telstra is pretty much going to nuke everything on the servers as well, meaning anything users may have had saved is going bye-bye.
-
1. What’s happening to MOG after 31 August 2015? From 31 August 2015 the MOG service will no longer operate in Australia. This means existing subscribers to MOG will still have access to the service up to and including 31 August 2015.

Q2. Why is MOG closing? Although MOG had already shut down in the United States, Telstra kept the MOG service running until now as we know music is important to you.

While it’s always sad to see services people like go, MOG just can’t survive in this competition heavy market.
