(Telecompaper) South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Fair Trade Commission, has ordered Google and Apple to revise unfair provisions, including the no-refund policy, in operating their mobile application stores, The Korea Times reports. ''We expect the measure, aimed at protecting consumers, will have a ripple effect on similar cases throughout the world," the Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said. The Google Play webstore now has to develop a customer refund system based on web developers' refund polices. Apple's iTunes app store will have to send a notice to users when it modifies the terms in its contract.
