iTunes store: More than 1 million sold. Apple's new online music store sold more than 1 million songs during its first week of operation, and analysts say it shows people will pay for downloads if given the chance. [CNET News.com]

The law of large numbers - in networks the key is to get volume. free = most volume but 99 cents is close to free and payment systems like Pay Pal help. A million hits a day for a year is 360 million. Physical Distribution costs = nil. Inventory cost = nil. Staffig costs = close to nil. If the curve works you might do many million a day while your bandwitsh costs go up none of your other costs do so you still get get ROI.
