Google said it plans to lower the commission it collects from subscription-based apps to 15% from 30% on Google Play starting next year. The announcement comes following criticism from regulators and app developers over its fee structure. In a blog post on Thursday, Google said it has made "important changes" including moving beyond a one-size fits all service fee model towards "multiple programs designed to support and encourage our diverse app ecosystem." The new structure will go into effect on January 1st next year.
