The popular streaming music service Spotify, which continues to see a delayed launch for the United States, is headed to the Netherlands on May 18th.
Spotify is now available in the UK, France, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Finland and has been expected for the U.S. for months now.
CTO Paul Brown says they are currently looking to servers in the U.S., and a launch should be coming this year.
The news of the streaming company heading to Netherlands comes from Tobias Edström, newly minted manager for Spotify Netherlands who says: "I have been here since January working on the launch and searching for an office. Meanwhile my sales and account manager have also come over."
The Netherlands, while not densely populated (it has 17 million citizens) does have very high Internet penetration.
