Yes.. For purchases made via operator billing.

I'm assuming that this is for applications that are sold through the ovi store as a proxy, and billed through your service provider (that's what it sounds like), as carriers sometimes like to do. Assuming that this is the case, I don't think this really applies to 99% of us because I don't think many of us are going to be signing carrier agreements for selling our apps.

I might not be as good at reading legalese as you, though.

It would be good if someone more knowledgeable could confirm this.

Clearly I don't know what I'm talking about so I'm just going to bow out and focus on finishing my app and let you guys figure out the complexities and social philosophies and viabilities of distribution.

My last two cents though: after the initial 50 euros has been covered, 50% of a euro is still 50c EUR more than I had previously. the difference between getting 70% and 50% is largely irrelevant to me. 50% of 1 Euro is still 80 cents in canadian dollars.
