First, the bad news…
According to the WSJ the EU is investigating whether iTunes overcharges UK customers. The price of a song in the UK is about 20% more than it is on the continent. And because iTunes does not allow cross-border transactions (CBT), this has become something of or sore spot.
Personally, I’d love to see iTunes embrace CBT. It sure works well for eBay.
And now for the good news…
According to CNET, Apple won the iTunes.co.uk domain after a lengthy battle with a company it had accused of cybersquatting. I’m not sure this is over just yet, as appeals may yet reverse the ruling, but for now it qualifies as good news for Apple.
