Exactly. IMHO... The 3M case didn't get effectively blessed by the USSC until '03. What makes this case so important is that it sets precedent in expanding the range of behavior that can be considered illegal into territory that was unclear before. I.e. the line you had to watch out not to cross was very blurry when it came to above-cost-on-average predatory pricing. This case clarifies where that line is somewhat, and it's clearly pushed in a direction that doesn't favor a monopolizer. To me, it looks like this AMD suit could have far more impact on precedent than the 3M case as the allegations are much stronger (IMHO). For instance, AMD goes into detail in the complaint about how Intel's rebates create conditions that are impossible to compete against even for an equally-efficient competitor, while LePage's was criticised for not doing so. (AMD of course needs to back the allegations up with substance.) fpg
