Steve Jobs: "Let me answer those two things. First one is the price for songs in the iTunes store is remaining 99 cents per song, and we think that's what customers want and that's what we're delivering. So the prices will remain 99 cents per song and any rumors to the contrary are simply not true."

This is the New York Post, folks, the same paper (and same reporter) who a couple of months ago claimed that Microsoft was trying to buy AOL from Time Warner -- a story that went nowhere and was picked up by no other major news organization.
"Okay, folks... this was going around the Net yesterday as something in the works for Region 2, so I thought we'd get the skinny for you about Region 1. I've officially confirmed with Paramount that complete season box sets of Star Trek: The Original Series are in the planning stages for DVD release here in the States. However, you probably shouldn't expect them until after most of the work on the Star Trek: Voyager complete season DVDs is finished. Voyager is expected to be released, a season at a time, throughout 2004. I'm told that late 2004 is a possibility for TOS, but they might not be released until 2005. This is definitely going to happen, but it's early in the planning and plenty is still up in the air. So don't start warming up those phasers just yet."
All the links in the original item refer to Region 2 release. Nothing about Region 1.
The current two-episode sets are R1-only (at least that's how they're listed at Amazon.co.uk). So will they continue to sell those in North America, and offer these new sets only in Region 2?

I'll believe this when I see it.
To answer my own question...

The Digital Bits reported last October:
"Okay, folks... this was going around the Net yesterday as something in the works for Region 2, so I thought we'd get the skinny for you about Region 1.
