Intel Corp (INTC)

Foreign governments and now the EU in Europe have long used their laws to help their own businesses and thwart U.S. businesses. The U.S. has not.

Contradicted by the many EU businesses that have run afoul of the EC.

Thus, we evolve an anti-trust law that tends to look at harm to consumers.

The EC complaint against Intel looks at harm to consumers.

Thus, the allowing of volume discounts.

The EC allows volume discounts.

With a different goal, it is not surprising that the EU is moving in a different direction.

The direction the EC is moving in is towards clarity, and now the US is moving in that direction... More specifically, their direction.

I think intel thought they were legit but the message to intel is that they are not.

I'll grant you that. The latter half at least. :)

The rules are either changing or becoming clearer.

The latter, and you should expect convergence between the US and EU.
