Not sure if this is good news or bad news as I'm sure the chip manufacturers will want to recoup the cost of the fines!

That is nothing compared to the profits they would have made during the operation..

And it only took 8 years for the investigation to get to this point. You gotta love bureaucracy in action.

If they can just hold off paying for a few months the plummeting Euro will mean their fine will be worthless

It's good to see action taken on this sort of thing - I have no doubt that the cost will be passed on to the consumer - but it's important to have competition in the marketplace - not collusion - Do you guys see this as a good or bad thing Yellowbeard? Must have impacted on you - or was it only the OEM market which you're not part of?
