EU launches competition investigation against Qualcomm
2015-07-16 10:15:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has opened two formal antitrust investigations into possible abusive behaviour by Qualcomm in market for baseband chipsets for mobile devices. The first will examine whether Qualcomm breached EU antitrust rules that prohibit the abuse of a dominant market position by offering financial incentives to customers on condition that they buy the chipsets exclusively or almost exclusively from Qualcomm. The second will look into whether Qualcomm engaged in 'predatory pricing' by charging prices below costs with a view to forcing its competition out of the market. This is the second time the EC looks at competition complaints about Qualcomm, after dropping in 2009 a four-year investigation into the US-based company's licensing practices. That time competitors withdrew their complaints, after Qualcomm changed some of its practices following action by Korean and Japanese regulators. More recently the company settled a major competition probe in China. Qualcomm said it was "disappointed" that the EC had taken the next step in its proceedings, while noting that this "represents neither an expression by the Commission on the merits of the case nor an accusation against the company". Qualcomm said it has been cooperating with the EC and will continue to do so, but believes "that any concerns are without merit". The Commission will now gather further information on the case before deciding whether to bring formal charges against Qualcomm. There is no deadline for completing its investigation.

Hawaiian Airlines warns Qantas-American alliance threatens competition
2015-07-14 08:33:31| Airlines - Topix.net
Hawaiian Airlines has lashed out at Qantas and American Airlines' plans to deepen their trans-Pacific alliance, warning that it threatens to lock out smaller airlines which will be denied access to domestic passenger traffic. The competition regulator last week gave interim approval to Qantas and American Airlines' revenue-sharing alliance despite opposition from Air New Zealand, because it deemed it likely to lead to additional capacity on routes from Sydney to San Francisco and Los Angeles.
