Compaq Kills Off Online Competition

Scott writes "It sounds like standard offline retailers weren't very happy with being consistently undersold by online-only retailers, and asked Compaq to fix it. Well, they did. For the next 90 days Compaq has suspended sales of it's boxes to companies who only sell through the web. Compaq also ordered Ingram Micro, who wholesale everything imaginable to retailers to halt sales to their online-only customers. "
