Intel facing possible US anti-trust case
Having just paid a €1.06 billion fine to European regulators, Intel may now be facing action from the United States Federal Trade Commission.
Intel has told Reuters that it believes its business practices in the US to be legal and of benefit to its customers, however three out of four FTC commissioners currently favor pursuing action on a formal inquiry opened in 2008.
“They said it could be a matter of weeks or a matter of months when the vote happens,” one source said.
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, Commissioner Thomas Rosch and Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour currently favor pursuing legal action against Intel, according to sources.
Intel has already had to pay fines to regulators in South Korea, Japan, and Europe. A fine from the FTC would be another black mark on Intel’s anti-trust record.
