South Korea's broadcasting and telecommunications regulator has fined Google and Apple a combined 63.7 billion won ($47.6 million) for forcing app developers to use their in-app payment systems and unfairly delaying app review schedules, marking the first such penalty. Yonhap reports the watchdog decided the fines at its 46th full meeting on Oct. 28, with Google fined 42.9 billion won and Apple 20.81 billion won, and also ordered corrective measures. The Korea Times notes this is the first time the government has fined the companies over these practices.
