have accused Apple of running an anti-competitive online marketplace by requiring them to use the company’s in-app purchasing system while taking a stiff 15 to 30 percent cut from all sales.Unlike other rival trade groups, like the Coalition for App Fairness, the ACT regularly issues statements and press releases echoing some of Apple’s own lobbying stances., ACT sings the praises of the App Store model, writing that it has “given companies never before seen access to overseas markets.
The group has also opposed looming antitrust legislation, like Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s Open App Markets Act, which would ban potentially anti-competitive behavior from companies like Apple that control how software can be distributed on its devices. , the ACT said Klobuchar’s bill was “another ‘ready, fire, aim’ at the mobile software distribution model simply because it seems big.”It’s unclear if Congress could approve new antitrust regulations reining in Apple’s App Store model this year, but the threat itself has launched the company into a lobbying frenzy.
