WalMart starts download price war

WalMart, with their new music download service is starting the promised price war on music downloads. Salon says:

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. began a test Thursday of its new 88-cent-per-song online music service, trying to capture more of the music market at a price that undercuts the 99-cent standard of its competition.

Not surprising that WalMart is starting the price war.

i recently read that the price structure for itunes (and similar) was about 79 cents per track for the record labels and 5 cents per track for credit card companies. the unanswered question is who got squeezed by walmart?
