499145 2006-11-15 20:52:00 There was an article mentioning it in the Herald today, but Apple is very secretive about these sorts of things, so unless some one in the music industry wants a new enemy, I would question how much the reporter really knows (I'm not saying it won't happen, just that I'm skeptical at this stage). I seem to remember a similar rumor around this time last year.

Based on my experience with iTunes Australia, I think it would very, very popular here. It's so easy to buy music that have make sure you don't get too carried away. :p

It says in the article if you read it.

Coincidentally, the world's highest profile iPod marketeers are in in Auckland next week - U2 has its own edition of the Apple MP3 player.

499150 2006-11-29 23:12:00 does anyone know when itunes does come to new zealand,will the itunes new zealand servers be hosted in new zealand or australia or usa? where is itunes australia's servers located? If the nz itunes is hosted in nz or aussie, we'll have fast download speeds cuz we won't have to download from all the way in the usa. Hey does itunes aussie offer music videos and tv shows for download? lance4k (4644)
499151 2006-11-30 00:13:00 does anyone know when itunes does come to new zealand,will the itunes new zealand servers be hosted in new zealand or australia or usa?

I would guess the server would be hosted in the USA as its cheaper & they already have servers there & I guess they have all there itunes stuff over there .


where is itunes australia's servers located?

I guess in the USA as well, but there is no site at www . itunes . com . au so it hard to say .

499152 2006-11-30 03:40:00 As far as I know they use akamai for distribution so it should/will be very nice and speedy. Jeremy (1197)
499153 2006-11-30 07:16:00 f the nz itunes is hosted in nz or aussie, we'll have fast download speeds cuz we won't have to download from all the way in the usa.I believe that Jeremy is correct. However, for the most part download speeds to the US are similar to local speeds and it is far more economical to have your servers located outside of New Zealand (there is little technical benefit to have local servers for music distribution, video on demand would be different). maccrazy (6741)
