Yet another streaming service that Australia won't get. But that is the least of my concerns, Apple signing agreements with providers like Comcast to guarantee speed is the start of something horrible. Apple are encouraging some very slippery slope behaviour if the rumours are to be believed.
Before too long, we'll be seeing paid packages along the likes of; Priority Youtube Speed Pack $5.95 per month, Unlimited Google Searches $1.95 per month amongst others. I think this is the beginning of the end of net neutrality people buckle up, it's going to be a rough ride.

A year or two later, TV was available on the AU iTunes store, and shortly after with local content. I could only imagine these international deals would only happen quicker now that Apple has a much larger reach than before.
