The U.S. state of South Carolina said it will drop out of the antitrust
lawsuit against MICROSOFT CORP, saying there was sufficient
competition in the Internet market. South Carolina was the first state to

ONLINE's proposed $4.2 bln acquisition of NETSCAPE
COMMUNICATIONS proved there was plenty of competition among
Internet companies. "Recent events have proven that the Internet is a
segment of our economy where innovation is thriving," Condon said.
"Further government intervention or regulation is unnecessary and, in
my judgement, unwise." (Reuters 12:12 PM ET 12/07/98) For the full
