This lists is missing Brazil and 15 other Latin American countries where iTunes Match service is available publicly from December 13th.

A lot people were complaining about iTunes Match services that they’re not able to fully use and take advantage of this new service. Apple has also refunded some of it’s European customers.

This document also contains a grid chart of countries in which iTunes Match and iTunes Store is currently available.
