Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible

Up to 10% of global revenue, 20% if they keep repeating the same offense, so nothing to sneeze at.

Is that revenue from all sources, the mobile division, or just the revenue from this particular mechanism (essentially zero)?

@shrugal@lemm.ee · 10 months ago

Pretty much all sources as far as I understand it. The exact definition is here if you’re interested (Article 5).

not exceeding 10 % of the aggregate turnover of the undertaking concerned within the meaning of Article 5

So I’m not sure what “the undertaking concerned” means exactly, but it’s probably the mobile portion of the business (and maybe just app store sales). But I guess that’s yet to be determined.

The article even explicitly lists subsidiaries and holdings with >50% of the ownership or voting rights, so I don’t think it’s limited to just one department or devision of a company. But yea, we’ll have to wait and see how this is applied in a real case.
