Japan hits Microsoft with antitrust warning
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) said Tuesday that certain provisions in license agreements between Microsoft Corp. and Japanese PC vendors violate Japan's antimonopoly code.
In a 13-page recommendation, it detailed the basis for its finding and issued a recommendation that the provisions be terminated in both current and previous agreements. Apart from its recommendations, the JFTC did not spell out any potential fines that may be imposed on Microsoft for violating JFTC rules.
