South Korea's parliament approved a bill that will allow app developers to escape Apple's and Google's marketplace billing systems that require sellers to pay commissions as high as 30 percent for every transaction.
Once signed by South Korean President Moon Jae-in, it will become the first bill of its kind to be imposed by a country. The law allows app developers the freedom to choose their own payment processing systems without facing delayed app reviews or being deleted from the app marketplace, as has been the case for past companies that have deviated, Reuters reported.
