Steve Jobs Again Uses Press To Signal Labels

Apple’s Steve Jobs has once again masterfully used the press to send a message. This time it was directed at major labels who had been prepared to push for the steady revenue of an iTunes music subscription
service during renewal talks this month.

Job’s message: "Never say never, but customers don’t seem to be interested in it," Jobs told Reuters in an interview . The subscription model has failed so far."  He might as well have just said to the majors: "Next subject, gentleman."
