Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's broadcasting and telecommunications regulator fined Google and Apple a combined 63.7 billion won ($47.6 million) on Oct. 28 for practices including forcing app developers to use their in-app payment systems, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. The fines mark the first such action over the companies' in-app payment policies. Korean media reports the decision as a regulatory step against the tech giants' payment restrictions, though no direct reactions from Korean bloggers or café members were included in the supplied documents.
