    Some think that the EU won’t accept the terms that Apple set up for alternate marketplaces, but it’ll probably take a decade or more until the EU can get off its ass.

      If it took a decade, it would be the first time regarding these issues.

      EU acted at a week’s notice last time Apple tried to pull shit about third party app stores.

      They didn’t hesitate fining both Apple and Google 10% of their turnover in the past either.

        The problem is that fixing the loopholes most likely needs changes to the Act itself. That takes years, the first revision of the Digital Markets Act took three years.
