Tompe, I think you mixed two numbers.

With the old model iFlow received 50%. With the new model iFlow received merely 30% (not 70%!) from the publishers, and those were totally swallowed by Apple.

With the Agency model, no "in-between" distributor will likely survive. Even if Apple were to take less than 30%, the final net income would be so small that you couldn't possibly sustain a business on the long run.
