Apple delivers iTunes Canada

Walmart economics: ---If Wal-Mart and Napster can offer discounts, so can iTunes.---

You have to remember that WalMart runs on different economic terms than everyone else in the world. They have enormous leverage, and considering that they sell 1 out of every 5 cds sold in the world, they can get deals no one else can. For example, they're pressuring the RIAA to get much cheaper prices on cds than anyone else:

I'm not aware of any discounts given by Napster, although I do recall Rhapsody doing a few weeks of everything at half price. In order to do this, they had to take a multimillion dollar loss. Not a good way to run a business.; Posted by: tic swayback Posted on: 12/02/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
