not true - ringtone deals are 50/50 between the carrier (Verizon) and the licensor (Label).

The licensor agrees to pay the full stat mechanical (the writers/publishers) out of their 50% and the carrier pays for all delivery, hosting and billing costs from their 50%.

These deals are closer to record sales than PR licenses.
