Regulators Meet on Proposal to Brand Microsoft a Monopolist | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: New York Times | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
On Monday, top antitrust regulators from the 15 nations in the European Union will gather here in the Centre Borschette, a bunkerlike building a stone's throw from the headquarters of the European Commission, to discuss a draft ruling that finds Microsoft guilty of abusing its dominance in operating software. With this meeting, the clock on the five-year-old antitrust case against Microsoft begins to run down. In less than two weeks, barring a last-minute settlement, the European Commission is expected to declare Microsoft an abusive monopolist, impose a fine of $100 million to $1 billion and order the company to make fundamental changes to the way it sells software in Europe. | ||

OK, but why now? I mean, Europe is usually not so "behind the curve", but in this case I don't know. This legal battle has been going on for 10 years, and now Europe decides to get into the act?
I'm not saying they shouldn't, but I am concerned about their true motives. What purpose will it ultimately serve? Who will benefit from the fines collected? |
