Fabless bias Industry sources said Jedec members regularly tried to keep Rambus out of the group's deliberations on SDRAM standards because it was a fabless company. "They hated their [Rambus'] business model," one participant said. David Balto, a Washington attorney and former policy director of the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition, said the outcome of the patent infringement case could affect the way standards groups like Jedec operate in the future. These groups are drawing closer antitrust scrutiny, he said, as companies attempt to leverage their intellectual property to strengthen market share. This is crap. JEDEC has a Fabless company running at least one memory subcommittee. 0\|0
