Previously, apple platform was accused of anti competitive behavior by Russian anti-monopoly < / span > agencies. This will "force" device manufacturers to allow third-party app stores to be installed on mobile devices, tumosov wrote on social media. In addition, the bill will require companies that charge commissions on app sales to pay a third of the Commission to a special Internet technology training fund on a quarterly basis. < / P > < p > Apple currently charges 15% to 30% commission on digital product sales in its app store, the same as other companies such as Google. However, the move was criticized by developers and antitrust regulators, and some even compared the cost to "highway robbery". < p > < p > some people worry that the new bill may force apple to withdraw from the Russian market. Tumosov dismisses this worry, saying that "this trend is global and Russia should not lag behind.". < / P > < p > < / P > < p > < / P > < p > the legislation comes at a time when the world is conducting antitrust review on apple and other technology giants, whose CEOs testified before the US House Judiciary Committee in July.
