The example was just an example, it is not a bank law per se, it is a direct violation of the competition act. I can probably cite an example or two of case law (canadian/british) sometime later today. Also, why 6 years? If Intel tried to do this now, it could certainly be dragged into the current suit.

"The banking example you cited said that it was illegal in that instance of tieing a mortgage to moving you checking account."

Bundling is more than just banking. Again, Intel ran afoul of this some years ago when they required companies wanting 386's to also buy their 286's from Intel. The FTC was all over them about that practice.
