Technology giants are facing calls from news publishers for a better share of revenues from Australia to America.
US news outlets, including the New York Times, have asked Apple to reduce the cut it takes when subscriptions are taken out on its app store.
The iPhone maker currently takes a commission from publishers of between 15% and 30% for first-time subscriptions.News publishers want to know what these requirements are so they can be offered the same terms, according to the letter written by DCN chief executive Jason Kint. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has published draft legislation which called on internet firms such as Facebook and Google to pay for the content they repost.
While Google says it does pay for some news content it uses, the Australian regulator wants to “level the playing field” so publishers can negotiate these rates.Some business experts argue that it’s only fair that the search engine giant pays publishers for their quality news content that it reposts.
