Apple’s In-App Rules: ‘Betrayed’ European Publishers Convene A Summit

Publishers in Europe are up in arms over Apple’s decision to reject Sony’s Reader app.

They say Apple has left them “confused” with their charging policies, and are now gearing up to meet in London later this month to plan what to do next. Grzegorz Piechota, the European president of the International Newsmedia Marketing Association -- which represents some 5,000 members in 80 countries worldwide -- told us that the INMA will be meeting with the European Online Publishers Association and the magazine association FIPP in a invitation-only roundtable on February 17 in London, to compare notes on Apple’s new subscription charging rules.
