A spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said the government has not responded -- and may not respond -- publicly to Intel's demand for more specifics in its antitrust case prior to the first administrative hearing on the matter.
The FTC, which is normally tight-lipped, was served earlier this week with papers from Intel (company profile), in Santa Clara, Calif., demanding the government offer a detailed response as to the market the chip maker dominates, after the commission said Intel wrongly used its monopoly power to strongarm other companies out of litigation.
The first administrative hearing is slated for July 10 in Washington, D.C., before an administrative law judge at the FTC.
Intel has denied it misused its monopoly power into trying to bully Intergraph, Digital Equipment, and Compaq out of dragging it into lawsuits. Digital and Compaq have since merged.
The FTC spokeswoman said she did not know if a response would be filed to Intel's motion, and, if it was, if it would be made public.
