Ian Lamont writes "The New York state Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, has launched an antitrust investigation of Intel. The office is investigating whether Intel violated state and federal antitrust laws by using penalties to force customers to exclude AMD from the international market for CPUs, and whether Intel "improperly paid customers for exclusivity and whether the company illegally cut off competitors from distribution channels." It's not the first time Intel has been accused of monopolistic behavior by official agencies. Last July the EU served Intel with antitrust charges, and in 2005 the Japanese Fair Trade Commission concluded that Intel violated its competition laws."
