I suspect “authentic” will mean “pays a license fee to Google.” In this respect it will work like other forms of DRM, and it will have the same effect of excluding new and smaller players from the market. Except in this case the market is the whole of the web.
No, there are no fees at all. Authentic just means approved device state, which will be defined by the website you go to I believe.
