Yahoo discontinues Platinum (it's premium streaming media service). Like I keep saying, bundling makes e-commerce possible; unbundling makes e-commerce impossible.

This is because of value dispersion: consumers have different preferences, and the market for those who are willing to pay for such services is too small to be sustainable.

Yahoo's new strategy is to roll Platinum into a broader Premium package - all in all, a good moce.
