EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the egg-them-on dept.

mesozoic writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that the European Union is considering *another* antitrust suit against Microsoft, this time having to do with anticompetitive behavior in the market for mobile phone software. While I haven't seen any signs Microsoft is going to dominate the industry here in the States, cell phones are a much bigger deal in Europe, so I can understand why they'd be nervous."

  2. The Nokia Protection Act of 2003 by burnsy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Sounds like the Nokia protection act. Sad, but we know how anti-US Europe is and Nokia is the only consumer level tech company to make any sort of dent in the US market.

    Of course Nokia has been asleep at the wheel with their phone offerings in the US. I mean really, who is going to carry that brick of phone known as the 9000i. Geeesh.
