Dan, The article says "the remaining amount goes to carriers and billing settlement fees", what about taxes?
In the UK we have V.A.T. which is currently chargeable at 15% on services supplied via the Internet. If this is included in the 30% Google deduct then this is great, if this is added then it means the developer will only see 55%. The 15% can be claimed back by VAT registered businesses under certain circumstances, but for non-VAT registered businesses or individuals the 15% can no be claimed back. Can you clarify this point.
