It's on the Terms of Service page, at the top,in what looks like Bold 
Lucida Something, about 36 point.

It's all about distribution rights. Banks and companies divvy up 
areas, states, and whatnot. The service is new. It's kind of amazing 
that it's available all over the US, even.

American Top 40 radio used to test market in the San Fernando Valley, 
and if things flew there, they went into syndication elsewhere. A 
US-wide roll-out of the service shows that Apple is serious, and you 
can rest assured they aren't going to refuse business from elsewhere, 
unless they're constrained, by contract, terms of service with credit 
companies, etc.
