Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
According to Billboard, the former Beatle said a deal to finally bring The Beatles to iTunes is "virtually settled".
Relationships between Mac and iPod maker Apple (formerly Apple
Computer) and the Beatles company Apple Corps have long been strained
over trademark issues. A final settlement was reached earlier this
year, clearing the way for Apple Corps to start selling music via the
iTunes Store.
But that wasn't the only obstacle. Apple Corps has been generally
reluctant to sell via online distribution, and it remains to be seen
what caused the change of heart.
When Apple CEO Steve Jobs used Beatles material in the iPhone demo at
Macworld Expo in January, many observers took this as a sign that
relationships between the two Apples were thawing and that the Beatles
back catalogue would soon be available on iTunes. And when EMI and
Apple held a recent media conference, there was great expectation that
it would involve the Beatles, though it turned out to be the
announcement of DRM-free tracks at higher prices.
McCartney's forthcoming album, to be released by Starbucks' Hear Music, will also be sold via iTunes.
