Microsoft Antitrust Appeals Rejected
Posted by Paul Szynol on Thursday, February 13 @ 03:18:03 EST Antitrust
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has rejected motions from Consumers for Computing Choice and from the VP of the Economic Studies Program at the Brookings Institution, both of which argued that the recent antitrust settlement would harm consumers.

The denial was evidently based on procedural grounds. The Judge concluded that neither CCC nor Robert E. Litan of ESP had standing because, first, neither was sufficiently invested in the outcome of the case, and, second, neither "failed to demonstrate that its interests were not adequately represented by the parties [to the original litigation, presumably]."

Report is here.
