Cuz it looks like he was right:

"Now if you’d like the pleasure of downloading music from them you’ll now have to pony up $9.99/11.99, though users who don’t have a portable music player will able to keep their $6.99 pinned so long as they don’t need to move their music to a portable."

"That's okay, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while."

"Yahoo's $60 price-point is "substantially" below Yahoo's cost to run the service, Jobs said during his interview at Sunday evening's Wall Street Journal "D: All Things Digital" conference. He claims to have entered the pool himself, placing his money on "five months."
