Google thinks they have finally gotten a one up on Apple with their new digital-service, One Pass.
According to this Businessweek story, One Pass is more publisher friendly than Apple's subscription service that was unveiled on Feb. 15. Google's service will keep around 10 percent of the fees charged by publishers while Apple will be keeping nearly 30 percent. Google claims that their primary objective is to get the money to the people who are producing high-quality content. According to the company, their cut will cover the costs of the services which will be available on tablets and smartphones, along with websites.
Publishers say One Pass is also more appealing because Google gives them more access to information about users than Apple.
In the end, it is up to the publishers to decide who ultimately wins, Apple or Google.
