INTEL RESPONDS TO EU CHARGES

The Hindu Business Line

Intel Corp., the world's biggest computer chip maker, responded to European Union charges regarding a probe into allegations that it used discounts to retailers to thwart competition.

Intel said in a US regulatory filing on Monday that it submitted a response to official charges - known as a statement of objections - on February 5. The response is confidential.

A European court last month rejected Intel's request to halt the investigation by the European Commission, the EUs anti-trust authority in Brussels.

Working with representatives of the various German states, it developed the child-friendly messenger in collaboration with Microsoft and FSM, an e-commerce site that focuses on protecting minors. "Children can't make contacts independently. Parents have to do that," said Ms Inge Breichler of jugendschutz.net
