S.Korea parliament committee votes to curb Google, Apple commission dominance
SEOUL: A South Korean parliamentary committee voted early on Wednesday to recommend amending a law, a key step toward banning Google and Apple from forcibly charging software developers commissions on in-app purchases, the first such curb by a major economy.
After the vote from the legislation and judiciary committee to amend the Telecommunications Business Act, dubbed the “Anti-Google law,” the amendment will come to a final vote in parliament.
That vote could come on Wednesday, although South Korean news agency Yonhap reported that parliament would act at a later date.
