When it rains, it pours. FTC considering possible lawsuit against INTC for anti-trust violations. This isn't new news, except that the report below says the FTC is one step closer to possibly suing INTC. But then again, if INTC actually is sued, that could be the bottom for its stock price (as far as the lawsuit factor is concerned). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> biz.yahoo.com Tuesday June 2, 12:19 pm Eastern Time FTC staff recommends antitrust suit against Intel WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's top litigator has recommended that the commission sue Intel Corp. (INTC - news) for alleged antitrust violations, sources familiar with the case said on Tuesday. A source said the commissioners are likely to vote on the recommendation early next week. The FTC has said that Intel holds a monopoly in microprocessors for personal computers. The suit is expected to allege that Intel illegally used its monopoly power by cutting off customers who will not share intellectual property. Neither the FTC nor Intel would comment. ''We don't have any comment on speculation in reports on the status of the FTC investigation,'' said Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman from Intel. The case is based in part on an Intel action against Intergraph Corp. (INGR - news). Intel cut off Intergraph from information and samples it needed to conduct its business during a dispute between the companies. A federal judge granted Intergraph a preliminary injunction against Intel. Copyright c 1998 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
