The verdict followed an eight-year enquiry into Intel's business practice of giving its distributors and computer manufacturers certain rebates and discounts, which was deemed as anti-competition.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://in.news.yahoo.com/250/20090916/1627/tbs-lessons-from-intel-s-1-45-billion-fi.html"><P>The decision has not only dented Intel's bottom line, but its effect is likely to be felt in India too, where the Competition Commission has recently been empowered to probe allegations of anti-competition practices against the dominant firms. Will the commission adopt a similar tough line on rebates and discounts offered by large companies to their distributors, or are we likely to see a more lenient stand?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://in.news.yahoo.com/250/20090916/1627/tbs-lessons-from-intel-s-1-45-billion-fi.html"><DIV class="auth">Samir R.
