No decision on Microsoft antitrust fines for 'weeks'
C|Net | at | by Mike
The European Commission said Thursday that it will need to spend a number of weeks analyzing the information that Microsoft has presented in its hearing before making a final decision on whether the company will be fined for not complying with a 2004 antitrust ruling.
The hearing, taking place on Thursday and Friday, gives Microsoft an opportunity to argue why it believes it has complied with the ruling.
A Commission representative told ZDNet UK that a decision on whether Microsoft will face fines of up to $2.43 million daily, will not be made for "at least several weeks after the hearing." He was unable to comment on the content of the hearing itself.
