What are the implications for the current PPCA dispute?

While regional commercial stations have switched off their streaming services, the ABC plans to expanded its radio streaming to include an additional 14 regional services from July 1, ensuring more Australians will have access to radio online and on mobile.

The ABC does not currently fall under the interim scheme that is at the heart of the dispute between commercial stations and the PPCA.

Streaming music company Rdio has launched it's latest redesign.

The company will now use intelligence gathered from it's users to select radio stations to play including music preference and past listening habits.

Rdio also launched a free version of its service in 20 countries in an effort to reach a wider audience and outgun rivals Spotify and Deezer.
