Very interesting I had not seen this.
Note there are five ftc commissioners. Christine Wilson is one of three republicans. She is unfortunately the one who seems the most trumpian. She misleadingly quotes a filing her own agency made in this op-ed. Because of that, and a few other turns of phrase in here that appear frequently in Qualcomm PR (such as the factually incorrect statement that this case was filed during the Obama administration--it was actually filed under Trump) I'm willing to bet a lot of money Qualcomm wrote this and gave it to her and she signed off on it.
- RobDrk 7y agoit was filed when the last administration was on the way out but still had dem majority. also see the dissent written by one of the commissioner at that time. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/170117qualcomm_mko_dissenting_statement_17-1-17a.pdf https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/170117qualc... i feel the ars article is a hit job as is the PR from Q.
- SmokeGS 7y agoI just looked at the FTC government archives from 1919-2009 and there is a gap after 2008 with missing volumes 146-148. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/commission-decision-volumes https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/commission... Does anyone know why this is the case?

- asr 7y agoI just double-checked and you are right! Filed Jan. 17, 2019. Apologies. For some reason I thought it was filed a few days after Trump became president, but I was mis-remembering.
