The Future of Apple App Store Economics

So today there are a lot of complaints about whether a 30% Apple or Google app store fee is fair. And even further, whether there should be competition and the ability to have an open ecosystem for alternative payments or even app stores.  

We have on with us today some folks who will talk about both the current situation behind App Store fees and speculate on where this is all potentially heading as well.
