LONDON — The European Union leveled its first antitrust penalty against Apple on Monday, fining the U sabong S sabong tech giant nearly $2 billion for unfairly favoring its own music streaming service by forbidding rivals like Spotify from telling users how they could pay for cheaper subscriptions outside of iPhone apps sabong Apple muzzled streaming services from telling users about payment options available through their websites, which would avoid the 30% fee charged when people pay through apps downloaded with the iOS App Store, said the European Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive arm and top antitrust enforcer sabong “This is illegal sabong And it has impacted millions of European consumers who were not able to make a free choice as to where, how and at what price to buy music streaming subscriptions,” Margrethe Vestager, the EU's competition commissioner, said at a news conference in Brussels sabong Apple — which contests the decision — behaved this way for a decade, resulting in "millions of people who have paid two, three euros more per month for their music streaming service than they would otherwise have had to pay," she said sabong It's the culmination of a bitter, yearslong feud between Apple and Spotify over music streaming supremacy sabong A complaint from the Swedish streaming service five years ago triggered the investigation that led to the 1 sabong 8 billion-euro ($1 sabong 95 billion) fine sabong The decision comes the same week new rules take effect to prevent tech giants from cornering digital markets sabong The EU has led global efforts to crack down on Big Tech companies, including three fines for Google totaling more than 8 billion euros, charging Meta with distorting the online classified ad market and forcing Amazon to change its business practices sabong Apple's fine is so high because it includes an extra lump sum to deter it from offending again or other tech companies from carrying out similar offenses, the commission said sabong It's not the only penalty that the tech giant could face: Apple is still trying to resolve a separate EU antitrust investigation into its mobile payments service by promising to open up its tap-and-go mobile payment system to rivals sabong Apple hit back at the commission and Spotify, saying it would appeal Monday's fine sabong “The decision was reached despite the Commission’s failure to uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm, and ignores the realities of a market that is thriving, competitive, and growing fast,” the company said in a statement sabong It said Spotify stood to benefit from the EU's move, asserting that the Swedish streaming giant met over 65 times with the commission during the investigation, holds a 56% share of Europe’s music streaming market and doesn’t pay Apple for using its App Store sabong “Ironically, in the name of competition, today’s decision just cements the dominant position of a successful European company that is the digital music market’s runaway leader,” Apple said sabong Spotify said it welcomed the EU fine, without addressing Apple's accusations sabong “This decision sends a powerful message — no company, not even a monopoly like Apple, can wield power abusively to control how other companies interact with their customers,” Spotify said in a blog post sabong The commission's investigation initially centered on two concerns sabong One was the iPhone maker's practice of forcing app developers selling digital content to use its in-house payment system, which charges a 30% commission on all subscriptions sabong Those fees have turned into a significant part of Apple’s service’s division, which generated $85 billion in revenue during the company’s last fiscal year ending in September sabong Various legal and regulatory developments in the U sabong S as well as Europe that are threatening to undercut the Apple's commissions from the App Store have been weighing on the company's stock, which has fallen by 9% so far this year while the tech-driven Nasdaq composite index has gained 8% sabong Apple's shares declined 2 sabong 5% in Monday's trading in the U sabong S sabong But the EU later pivoted its focus to concentrate on how Apple prevents app makers from telling their users about cheaper ways to pay for subscriptions that don’t involve going through an app sabong The investigation found that Apple banned streaming services from telling users about how much subscription offers cost outside of their apps, putting links in their apps to pay for alternative subscriptions or even emailing users to tell them about different pricing options sabong “As a result, millions of European music streaming users were left in the dark about all available options,” Vestager said, adding that the commission's investigation found that just over 20% of consumers who would have signed up to Spotify's premium service didn't do so because of the restrictions sabong The fine comes just before new EU rules are set to kick in that are aimed at preventing tech companies from dominating digital markets sabong The Digital Markets Act, due to take effect Thursday, imposes a set of do's and don'ts on “gatekeeper” companies including Apple, Meta, Google parent Alphabet, and TikTok parent ByteDance — under threat of hefty fines sabong The DMA's provisions are designed to prevent tech giants from the sort of behavior that's at the heart of the Apple investigation sabong Apple has already revealed how it will comply, including allowing iPhone users in Europe to use app stores other than its own and enabling developers to offer alternative payment systems sabong Vestager warned that the commission would be carefully scrutinizing how Apple follows the new rules sabong “Apple will have to open its gates to its ecosystem to allow users to easily find the apps they want, pay for them in any way they want and use them on any device that they want," she said sabong (AP) sabong

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) aims to achieve a five percent increase in the number of registered voters nationwide for the 2025 midterm elections sabong Comelec 7 Director Lionel Castillano said one of the strategies to accomplish this goal is the implementation of the Register Anywhere Program (RAP) in highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the country, including those in Cebu and capital towns and cities in other islands of the region sabong “We will only conduct the RAP once a month because it is just an additional service of the Comelec sabong We will hold the RAP during our satellite registration, where we will have those booths,” Castillano explained in Cebuano on Monday, Feb sabong 12, 2024 sabong He said the main purpose of the RAP is to accommodate students and workers based in HUCs and capital towns and cities who may still want to vote in their home provinces sabong “Usually, these students and workers can only make time during the weekend sabong That’s why we’ll conduct the satellite registration on weekends at the malls,” he added sabong The RAP is an innovative program wherein qualified Filipinos can register as voters anywhere nationwide without going back to their place of residence, the Comelec said in its website sabong This addresses the concern of Filipinos “who are currently away from their place of residence due to employment, school and other reasons but would like to register as a voter in the same without the need to physically go there,” it said sabong Castillano said the pilot implementation of RAP will take place at the University of San Carlos Talamban campus in Cebu City in the morning of Feb sabong 28 and at the Cebu Doctors’ University (CDU) in Mandaue City later that afternoon sabong Only students and school personnel will be allowed to participate sabong Limited areasMandaue City sabong Election Officer Anna Fleur Gujilde said they chose CDU because 70 percent of its staff and students are not from Cebu sabong Gujilde said Comelec Mandaue plans to launch the RAP for the public in their office after the pilot testing sabong They will also announce other locations where RAP will be available within the city, she added sabong After the pilot testing, only Comelec offices in the tri-cities of Cebu, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu will implement the RAP, according to Comelec 7 spokesman and Carcar City Election Officer Omar Sharif Dilangalen Mamalinta sabong This is because only those offices have been given the voter’s registration machine by Comelec Manila to carry out the program, he said sabong Mamalinta said the selected offices will process RAP applications during regular office hours as well as during satellite registrations, from Monday to Saturday, including holidays sabong The Comelec has introduced RAP as a convenient way for voters to register sabong With RAP, voters are no longer limited to registering at their local Comelec office sabong Instead, they can register at designated sites across the country, regardless of their current residence sabong Comelec will set up registration facilities at selected establishments such as malls, universities, government offices, church organizations, and other similar venues sabong Mamalinta said RAP applicants will have to bring the same requirements as regular applicants sabong Meanwhile, Castillano said the RAP will be implemented in Tagbilaran City in Bohol, Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental and Siquijor town in Siquijor sabong Castillano advised the public to follow Comelec Facebook pages where they will post the schedule for satellite registration and the RAP in the coming months sabong ClarificationsHe also clarified that their daily registration will continue at the Comelec district offices, in addition to satellite registrations and RAP implementation sabong The Comelec initiated its satellite registration years ago to accommodate registrants in far-flung areas and those who are financially constrained sabong Voter registration for new registrants resumed on Feb sabong 12 and will end on Sept sabong 30 sabong In a text message on Monday, Comelec Election Officer Marchel Sarno said that as of 2 p sabong m sabong , 420 more individuals in Cebu City were now eligible to vote in the 2025 midterm elections, based on their partial assessment, after these individuals applied for registration Monday sabong However, these individuals were from the north district only sabong The number does not include those from the south district sabong Comelec Mandaue received 432 applications, as of 3 p sabong m sabong Gujilde advised registrants to bring valid IDs like government-issued IDs such as the Social Security System or Government Service Insurance System ID, driver’s license, postal ID or even a barangay clearance provided that it contains a recent photo of the applicant sabong She discouraged the use of company IDs because there have been instances when some applicants submitted fake company IDs sabong “Unless it is from a known company and the registrant has no other available IDs, then we will possibly accept it sabong But most of the time if you are a worker, you also have government IDs,” she said sabong Gujilde said they will only cater to registrations for the midterm elections sabong Applicants for the Sangguniang Kabataan elections in December 2025 will be entertained after the midterm elections on May 12, 2025 sabong As of October 2023, Central Visayas has 5,415,071 registered voters, with the majority or 3,384,198 voters coming from Cebu; 981,785 from Bohol; 968,874 from Negros Oriental; and 20,214 from Siquijor sabong (with a report from AML) sabong Top-Rated Payment Methods Selection - BingoPlus Games
