IIRC you have to show a company sells below average variable cost to prove predation. With high fixed fab, chip design & process R&D costs the variable cost is insignificant. IMHO the law doesn't adequately address the modern tech market. Under traditional accounting the variable cost of producing Microsoft Windows is probably 10 cents (how much does it cost to press a CD these days?).
