Curious: The #DMA is a “text with EEA relevance”, so it applies in the European Economic Area, not just the EU. #Norway, #Iceland, and #Liechtenstein are in the EEA, but not the EU. But Apple’s docs on alternative marketplaces only talks about the EU and only lists EU countries as eligible. So can developers in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein create and use alternative app marketplaces?

I was curious about this as well
AFAICT the DMA is in progress in the EEA with a Digital Platforms Task Force formed last year (I think?) to work on it. How it would work for the EEA. That kind of thing
I think both the DSA and the DMA are still in Stage II with the ball in the EEA's court. It won't take effect until after the EEA finishes its side of the process and the EU approves the proposed decision.
So, I think it'll be a while until it takes effect in the EEA
@baldur @callionica essentially this. It’ll be a while before the DMA applies to EEC counties.
