Open App Markets Act: More Choice, Lower Prices for Consumers
This act aims to increase competition in the mobile app market, potentially leading to more app choices, lower prices, and better service quality for citizens. Large app store operators will be prevented from forcing developers to use their payment systems or restricting communication with users. The act also seeks to give users more control over their devices, allowing installation of apps from outside official stores and removal of pre-installed programs.
Key points
More App Choices: Users will be able to install apps from various sources, not just one store.
Lower Prices: Developers can offer different prices across stores, potentially leading to cost reductions.
Greater Device Control: Ability to remove pre-installed apps and set custom default programs.
Privacy and Security Protection: Companies must ensure security but cannot use it as an excuse to block competition.
