(MENAFN - IANS) p>Seoul, Feb 16 (IANS) Google Play Store fees could increase by more than $136 million in South Korea due to new billing policy that expands its service commission to all in-app digital content purchases, a lawmaker said on Tuesday.
Last September, Google decided to make all app developers on its Play Store use its billing system, which takes a 30 per cent commission on digital content purchases, starting October this year.
The new policy would lead to an increase in Play Store fees for local developers by as much as 156.8 billion won ($136 million), Park Sung-Joong, a lawmaker of the opposition People Power Party, said, citing a report by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
