Apple reportedly bans Bloom.fm from iAd for its service rivalling iTunes Radio

The Register:

Bloom FM, a Spotify-style music streaming service, claimed Apple issued the iAd ban because it now regards the London-based company as a rival.

The Register understands that Apple wrote to Bloom today and claimed it was a direct competitor to iRadio, which is surprising because this Apple-operated service does not yet exist in the UK.

If this is true, it’s a dick move by Apple.
