U.S. antitrust regulators looking into Apple’s new subscription service

Best Buy doesn’t take a 30% of Sirius XM’s subscription fees when you sign up and buy/install a radio at their store. They don’t take a cut of Xbox LIVE fees when you buy a subscription card.

This is pretty much what the new app store is going to do. Sirius will have to let you sign up in the app now and then give Apple part of their subscription fee. How is that fair?

If Apple wants more money to run the App Store they can raise the fee from the $99 it costs right now or introduce a pro level developer system or something. IMO Apple is in the wrong on this one.
