On a recent
podcast hosted by Chris Connaker, the Qobuz team more than hinted at Canada becoming the next service region, and it's now sounding at least somewhat more imminent, otherwise they likely wouldn't have discussed it at all.
I had heard previous conjecture that 2nd half of 2021 was likely, however I'm now a bit more hopeful for those in the GWN that it very well could be sooner, assuming all of the bullshit legal hurdles and hoops to jump through presented by the lawyers for the record labels can actually be sorted.
You can hear that specific commentary at the 16:30 mark of the podcast, though the entire cast is informative and worth listening to if you have the time. Total runtime is about 53 minutes, and covers the history of Qobuz, and streaming in general going back to the first decade of the 21st century, plus other very interesting comments including the "thorny" subject of artist compensation, the status of DLNA/UPnP integration with the Qobuz desktop app, Apple CarPlay integration, internet radio integration, search improvement, and more.
This podcast is available using the link above, or from your favorite podcast platform. Don't be immediately scared off by the 53 minute runtime, it isn't boring if you are interested in Qobuz.
