In all the chaos of allegations, counter allegations, scores of testimonies, rebuttals, cross-examinations, and others, I humbly request that Judge Koh and the FTC pause for a moment and ponder this question: “If Qualcomm loses this case, who will win?” No, it’s not the FTC; the real winner would be China, in the form of its proxy Huawei (and to a lesser extent, Apple).
In my previous article, I explained how FTC’s activist attempt to fight Qualcomm will result in reduced competition, limited choice, increased prices, and will ultimately do great harm to consumers and the industry.
