No more 70:30 split for app developers, says Indosat

I should not have been surprised, but I was. In the course of the Asia Pacific Summit session that I was moderating the Chief Strategy Officer of Indosat, Prashant Gokarn, said that they are no longer keeping 30% of earnings from apps, but giving pretty much everything to the developers. We can make our money on data, he said.

I asked, is this just you?

Supun Weerasinghe, Chief Stategy Officer at Axiata, said, no. We are dong the same. This is very good news. Just two years ago, we were trying to persuade operators to adopt 70:30. Now they have gone beyond.
