...Apple launched iTunes in Britain, France and Germany, offering a wider selection of songs for less money ($1.44 each). In its first week in Europe alone, iTunes sold 800,000 tracks. Napster and the Sony Connect store also have competing music sites, and WalMart and EasyGroup, parent company of EasyJet, are looking to launch their music-download services.

His knowledge of the industry, not technowizardry, was the basis of e-bookers' success. To avoid competition with low-cost, puddle-jumping carriers like Easyjet, it focuses on the mid- and long-haul market. To get cheap merchant fares, e-bookers has personnel in 11 countries.
