of the negotiations and is similar to the launch of iTunes, which began in the US and took a while to roll out to other countries."
Digital music analyst Mark Mulligan, vice president and research director at Forrester Research, also named the first quarter of 2012 as the earliest release date. "These types of negotiations take a long time.
