More EU iTMS Stores In October

Wednesday September 29, 2004 7:39 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

Eddie Cue, Apple's Vice President of Applications announced today Apple has plans to open new EU extensions of the iTMS in October. Speaking at the annual Popkomm convention in Berlin, Cue gave little details as to which areas of the EU would be receiving their own stores. With Italy and the Netherlands representing the two top-10 music markets in the EU currently without stores, they at least seem likely candidates. Cue also noted that file-sharing networks like KaZaA and WinMX make up the largest competition for the online music store, instead of other more legal options already available.
