.... but profit falls 22% http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/14376305.htm Y! is not bowing to mighty Google i hope they don't try to increase profit by squeezing us.
They won't, they will have to keep paying a high rev share inorder to keep revenues up. Since Microsoft is going away, their biggest partner, they will be losing hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
I am personally curious about the yahoo! music part. Unlimited downloads for 10 a month? Hmm... I thought they had to pay a consistent fee for each downloadable item?
Yahoo music uses a drm, so that you have to keep up the subcripition in order to keep playing the music. After 30 days you have to pay again or you can't play again. I guess that is how they get off charging lower fees.
