Some of the top hardware executives and antitrust experts are being lined up to testify in the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust suit against Intel, scheduled to start March 9.

Topping the list of high tech executives that may appear in the action are Advanced Micro Device's chief operating officer Atiq Raza, Intergraph chief executive Jim Meadlock, and two of his top lieutenants, sources familiar with the case say.

Ritz:

re <<Are you familiar with the specifics of the Govt. case against Intel??....in particular what "anti-competitive" actions they are being charged with?>>

I thought the whole reason for the case was that FTC felt like DOJ was monopolizing all the anti-trust suits and FTC needed to do something quick to pull the spotlight back to itself.
