While I agree with you Mark about these alternative selling channels, I am still curious why in some countries paid apps are not available in the Market? I live in Luxembourg and because of the small size of our country I am used to get things later than other countries. I was however a bit shocked that Canada has the same problem...
What is the issue here? Does google not want to make business everywhere? Is it the fault of the carriers? When I asked the helpline of my provider LUXGSM why paid apps are not available I was told that the google license was expensive and that's why no decision had been made yet.
