Speaking at a technology conference organized by The Wall Street Journal in Laguna Beach, California, Cook said that an additional 8.5 million people are participating in a free trial of the Apple Music service. That gives it more than 15 million users in total, which Cook described as a successful debut. "I'm really happy about it, and I think the runway here is really good," Cook said. Released in June, Apple Music is the company's attempt to carry its dominance of digital music through its iTunes store into the era of music streaming pioneered by Spotify and others. Apple is allowing users to test its service with a 90-day free trial, which elapsed for the first users earlier this month. Analysts have predicted that Apple's service will find a strong following due to the vast installed base of iTunes users, but few think the iPhone maker will eclipse other music streaming companies. Spotify, the industry leader, has more than 20 million paid subscribers worldwide, the company said. In a wide-ranging conversation with Gerard Baker, editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, Cook also touched on Apple TV, which recently received a long-awaited update. A new version of the set-top box featuring apps and expanded search features will be released later this month, but the product does not include a streaming TV service, which industry executives say the company is exploring. Although television has been slow to change, Cook expressed optimism that the industry will eventually embrace his vision of apps for TV. "There are very few content owners that believe that the existing model will last forever," Cook said. "I think the most forward-thinking ones are looking and saying, 'I'd rather have the first-mover advantage.'" Cook did not publicly acknowledge efforts by Apple to build an electric vehicle, which sources say are under way. Corporate giants back Obama's climate change push Dozens of corporate giants including Coca-Cola and Walmart have backed President Obama's drive to strike a cli- mate deal at talks in Paris next month. The White House said that another 68 companies had agreed to measures such as using renewable energy and reducing water wastage. The businesses will also take steps to cut carbon emissions. They join 12 firms including Apple and General Motors that signed up in July. Obama said taking action to tackle climate change was in the best interest of every business. "The perception is that this is an environmental issue, it's for tree- huggers, and hardheaded business people either don't care about it, or see it as a conflict with their bottom lines," he said. "Considerations of climate change, energy efficiency, renewable energies are not only not contradictory to their bottom lines, but for these companies they are discovering that they can enhance their bottom lines." Obama is pressing other countries, US voters, and state and local governments as well as companies in a bid to reframe the debate ahead of the talks. Chief executives of companies including Intel, Johnson & Johnson and Hershey went to the White House on Monday to sign Obama's American Business Act on Climate Pledge.
