The Korea Media and Communications Commission (KMCC) has not decided whether to penalize Google and Apple over South Korea’s app payment rules, leaving the outcome of an enforcement case unresolved. In a statement Tuesday, Oct. 27, the commission said its deliberation process was incomplete and that neither the decision on sanctions nor their specific terms had been finalized. South Korea amended its Telecommunications Business Act in 2021 to bar app marketplaces from requiring developers to use a specific payment method. The investigation covered August 2022 through April 2023.
