Title: Admob CEO Issues Words On Apple Analytics Post by: HCK on June 10, 2010, 07:00:07 am Admob CEO Issues Words On Apple Analytics
Apple's terms of service for part of their new developer agreement were revealed yesterday, and Admob CEO Omar Hamoui isn't happy, according to 9to5 Mac. The new terms would prevent Admob (owned by Google) and other various ad networks such as Microsoft from being able to perform business within the App Store. Here's what Hamoui said:Apple proposed new developer terms on Monday that, if enforced as written, would prohibit app developers from using AdMob and Google's advertising solutions on the iPhone. These advertising related terms both target companies with competitive mobile technologies (such as Google), as well as any company whose primary business is not serving mobile ads. This change threatens to decrease - or even eliminate - revenue that helps to support tens of thousands of developers. The terms hurt both large and small developers by severely limiting their choice of how best to make money. And because advertising funds a huge number of free and low cost apps, these terms are bad for consumers as well.He continued, "…we'll be speaking to Apple to express our concerns about the impact of these terms."Do our readers agree? Do you think this will hurt your App pocketbook in the long run? Or how about developers? What are your thoughts on the matter?
