Comment on Google will consider lowering Play Store cut to 15% for certain appsparent

Comments

It is hard to make revenue from an app store, because most downloaded apps are free ones, and a large percentage of them use Admob to monetize. A qualified competitor needs to provide significant amount of bandwidth for the free apps.

For paid apps, Google could always cut less than you if they feel threatened.

And Google controls the Android OS development.

BTW, there are tons of Android app markets in China. No monopoly there.
