Flatland vs. Rocky Mountains
By Jeff Leeds on the New York Times, a short report on an impending uphill battle, this time on the iTunes Music Store.
The story is rather simple: Steve Jobs wants to maintain the one-price model that iTunes has, since inception, adopted - 99 cents to download any song - two out of four major record companies want it replaced with a more complex structure that prices songs by popularity.
