Question

I wish to know, why my country isn´t in the options to get itunes u, my University is La Universidad del Rosario, and we are from Bogotá- Colombia, what can we do to get it?

Answer 1

Your question is one of the most frequently asked in this forum: "Why isn't my university in iTunes U?…I am a native of X," where "X" is some country not represented within iTunes U.
Since iTunes U is a part of the iTunes Store (at least in a tangential way for private sites and in a very real sense for "iTunes U in the iTunes Store", Apple must first work through all the legalities of dealing with a "not-for-profit degree granting institution" in your country. Every country has different laws governing such things. When a university becomes a part of iTunes U, someone who can make a legally binding agreement for your -whole- school must sign a lengthy agreement and, since Apple is headquartered in the US, the agreement is likely made more complex because it involves international law. It is almost certainly for this reason that Apple must, as much as the good folks who work within the iTunes U team would otherwise wish, move slowly and carefully when dealing with nations not currently part of iTunes U.
I don't know that my theory is 100% correct…but I suspect it is because the very first countries to have access to iTunes U outside the US were those countries in the common law tradition (Canada, Ireland, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand). It was probably simpler to target those countries first. It is not a matter of preferring some countries to others…it is more a matter of dealing with all countries legally and fairly…it's legally simpler to target some countries first. Consider, for example, that iTunes U does not exist in China…and I bet Apple would love to introduce it there, were it simple to do so.
