'Berkeley on iTunes U' available to the public

Apple’s iTunes U program enables colleges and universities to post audio and video educational content online. While some universities restrict access to posted content specifically to their students and faculty, the University of California, Berkeley has done one better — it’s announced that Berkeley on iTunes U is available to the public, as well as all UC Berkeley students.

“As a public university, UC Berkeley has a tradition of openness,” said Obadiah Greenberg, product manager for webcast.berkeley in a recent statement. “It really speaks to our motto - ‘Fiat Lux,’ Let there be light.”

I just took a look at the Berkeley on iTunes U offering, and there is some really cool stuff - particularly in the Events category. For example, you can download lectures/events by Helen Thomas, Seymour Hersh, Joseph Wilson, Hans Blix, etc. NOTE: You must use iTunes to access the content.

1. So why the hell can't iTunes carry an AAR station?

Hell, I can get twenty different stations from Zimbabwe, but I can't get one from an AAR affiliate? I wonder what their licensing deal is?

2. XM has "Exclusive" rights

I guess that's what they meant by exclusive...
