14 DAY TRIAL // Bloomberg is reporting that Apple’s iTunes Radio is on track to become available not only in Canada (as previously rumored), but also in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and even some nordic countries.
Citing people with knowledge of the situation, the news agency reports, “Apple Inc. plans to expand iTunes Radio to English-speaking countries outside the U.S. by early 2014, beating industry leader Pandora Media Inc. to the U.K. and Canada.”
The report goes to mention Australia and New Zealand as part of the accelerated international expansion of the music streaming service. “Nordic countries are also being targeted in the same time frame,” the same people said.
Naturally, Apple declined to comment on the rumors, but one of the quoted sources said that the company was doing what it did a decade ago with the international iTunes rollout (following the US debut).
