原标题：俄罗斯或将苹果抽成限制在20% 强制允许第三方商店上线

Russian Congressman Fedor Tumosov (Fedor Tumosov) proposed a draft bill on Tuesday that proposes to set the commission cap on Apple's app store to 20% and force the company to allow third-party app stores to go online.

If this draft is passed, any company’s percentage of commissions from app sales and in-app purchases will be limited to 20%. This draft legislation will affect the mobile application market of companies such as Apple and Google. Earlier, the Apple platform was accused of anti-competitive behavior by the Russian antitrust agency.

Tumosov wrote on social media that this would "force" device manufacturers to allow third-party app stores to be installed on mobile devices. In addition, the bill will require companies that charge commissions for application sales to pay a third of the commission to a special Internet technology training fund every quarter.

Apple currently charges 15% to 30% commissions for digital product sales in its App Store, which is the same standard as other companies such as Google. However, this move has been criticized by developers and anti-monopoly regulators. Some people even compared the fee to a "highway robbery."

Some people are worried that the new bill may force Apple to withdraw from the Russian market. Tumosov dismissed such concerns. He said that "this trend is global and Russia should not fall behind."

The introduction of this legislation comes as the world is conducting antitrust reviews of Apple and other technology giants. The CEOs of these large technology companies testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee in July. (Little)
