RE: business deals outside of jurisdiction of US DOJ Albert, Intel's lawyers are not that dumb. Anything Intel or any of its subsidiaries do is subject to the jurisdiction of the US courts, tax and antitrust laws. Moreover, foreign firms doing business in the US are subject to the same scrutiny, which annoys them mightily. Any firm-specific discounting arguably violates the Robinson-Patman Act (Anti Price-Discrimination Act) and lays a minefield that can later be detonated by public or private action. If Intel were interested in finessing the US laws the only way it could hope to do so is to establish joint ventures with foreign firms in which it had a demonstrably minority (non-control) position. I haven't heard of them doing this, although I might welcome it as an Intel stockholder. Good luck on your investments.
