Apple puts an end to streaming radio on the AppStore ?

Another story of a rejection of an application for the AppStore raises new questions. It concerns the CastCatcher software which allows, like many others, listening to Internet radios on the iPhone. This rejection is much stranger since it relates to an update of the software to the 1.3 version.
Apple justified its refusal of an online update of the settings of this software since it would consume too much bandwidth on the cellular network.
However, the old version, 1.2 remains online but it has exactly the same consumption of bandwidth.
This is perhaps an error with the screening by Apple, but it leads us to ask if does not rather indicate a new policy, probably initiated by the telephone operators who see the problems with the use of their resources in this way. But one can also imagine that Apple intends to propose an equivalent service soon on its iPhone, via iTunes or quite simply that this use erodes the sales of iTunes Store.
Whatever the reason, this decision reinforces the impression of an arbitrary style that many people have already on the decisions by Apple to put online, or not, software.
