- fnordsensei 9y agoCan't speak for Google or Apple, but I know that Spotify's entry into a country is largely dictated by rights holders. They themselves would like to offer everything to everyone, of course.

- dx034 9y agoNot sure if the unavailability of Spotify in Botswana is due to right holders. Think it's just not high on their priority list.
