A Russian lawmaker is attempting to pass legislation to reduce the commission that Google and Apple charge app and game developers on the sales of digital goods, from 30% to 20%.

Fedot Tumusov, the lawmaker behind the bill, submitted the draft to Russia's lower house of the parliament. The bill states that commissions of sales of apps should be capped to 20%, for both Apple and Google. The bill would also compel Apple and Google to pay one-third of their commissions to a special training fund for IT specialists every quarter.
