The headline seems to be:

> New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year

This is great and will really help smaller developers, 15% is much more of a palatable tax than the 30% they had previously.

If this creates an incentive for developers to keep their apps below $1M, then wouldn't that increase the divide between them and the "big fish" who can easily take the 15% loss?
