KFTC starts review of alleged Google app market abuse over GVP contracts
South Korea\'s Fair Trade Commission has begun deliberations over allegations that Google abused its dominant position in the app market. The case focuses on GVP contracts signed with 22 major game companies from 2019 that required most-favoured terms for the Google Play Store in timing and quality, in return for support for premium services. The watchdog’s staff proposed corrective orders and a fine that could reach up to 6 percent of relevant revenue.
