Chipmaker Qualcomm may face EU antitrust probe: Report
Qualcomm, the world’s No. 1 mobile chipmaker, may face a European investigation related to a four-year-old complaint from a subsidiary of rival Nvidia, three people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. An EU probe would come at an awkward time for Qualcomm, which is seeking to end an investigation by China’s pricing regulator into monopoly practices. In 2010, the EU competition authority scrapped a four-year probe into Qualcomm after Swedish mobile telecom gear maker Ericsson and U.S. rival Texas Instruments withdrew their objections against the company. In 2009, South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission fined Qualcomm 273 billion won, the agency’s biggest ever penalty against a single company, for abusing its dominant position in CDMA modem chips which were then used in handsets made by Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics.
