WASHINGTON — A hearing on the government's antitrust case against Intel Corp. has been delayed again by two weeks, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday (Jan. 20).
The antitrust hearing that had been scheduled to open on Feb. 23 is now scheduled to begin on March 9.
An FTC spokeswoman attributed the delay to Intel and agency officials' failure to produce documents on schedule. The two sides also asked James Timony, the FTC's chief administrative law judge, for more time to prepare their cases.
In an order released Wednesday, Timony ordered the two-week delay and set a final pre-hearing conference on the case for March 5.
The government alleges that Intel illegally used its market power to deny Digital Equipment Corp., Intergraph Corp. and Compaq Computer Corp. continuing access to technical data needed to develop systems based on Intel microprocessors.
Intel denies the charges.
