Microsoft/DOJ Close To Settling?
from the could-it-be? dept
For the past few weeks, all I've heard is that neither the DOJ lawyers nor the Microsoft folks had been willing to budge an inch on any settlement proposals. However, now, as they come down to the wire, the rumor is that a settlement is on the table and both sides agree to it. They're waiting to see what the states (who seem more critical of Microsoft than the federal government does) think about the deal.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
