Intel Antitrust Suit to Be Brought by FTC in Weeks, Paper Says The Federal Trade Commission is expected within weeks to file an antitrust lawsuit charging Intel Corp. with withholding technology from customers and companies it is feuding with, USA Today reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the case. The FTC is also considering filing a broader suit within a year claiming Intel forced PC makers that license microprocessors to buy related parts, the paper said. A possible solution for the second case would be for the FTC to force Intel to make its microprocessing code available so PC makers can use non-Intel chip-sets, the paper said. A U.S. district court judge earlier this month ordered Intel to resume supplying Intergraph Corp. with sample computer chips and key technical information. This can't hurt IDTI.
