mas,
Thanks for the article. So where is the news?
Where did the $1.3 billion figure come from? Not long ago "experts" were sure to emphasize it could be as much as 10% of 37 billion in annual revenues? The article still mentions this, but this is old news. Now it "could reach as much" as $1.3 billion. Looks like a little back-tracking, if you ask me.
More important than the speculating "experts" is this portion of the article:
A person with knowledge of the commission’s deliberations said the agency was planning to highlight specific instances of suspected illegal discounting and order an end to those practices
No mention of a fine, of any size, is noteworthy. Could it be... Naahh ;)
edit: I expect a rather mild fine. If not mild I expect Intel to fight it and win.
IMHO
