Subject: FTC Charges Broadcom with Illegal Monopolization and Orders
the Semiconductor Supplier to Cease its Anticompetitive Conduct
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a complaint charging Broadcom
with illegally monopolizing markets for semiconductor components used
to deliver television and broadband internet services through
exclusive dealing and related conduct. The Commission has also issued
a proposed consent order that would settle the Commission's
charges. Under the consent order, Broadcom must stop requiring its
customers to source components from Broadcom on an exclusive or near
exclusive basis.
"Today's complaint reflects the Commission's commitment to enforcing
the antitrust laws against monopolists, including in high-technology
industries," said FTC Bureau of Competition Acting Director Holly
Vedova. "America has a monopoly problem. Today's action is a step
toward addressing that problem by pushing back against strong-arm
tactics by a monopolist in important markets for key broadband
components. There is much more work to be done and we need the tools
and resources to do it. But I have full confidence in FTC staff's
commitment to this effort."

Carr and Florida Leaders Urge Support for Internet Freedom in Cuba
MIAMI, FLORIDA, July 15, 2021 -
Today, Commissioner Brendan Carr joined Florida Governor Ron DeSantis,
Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez, and Representatives Maria
Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez to reiterate their call for
the Biden Administration to offer its full support for American
enterprise to provide Internet service to the people of Cuba.
Commissioner Carr issued the following statement:
"This is a moment in history that we cannot let pass. Increasingly,
dictators around the world are shutting down Internet connections when
people yearning for freedom stand up to those oppressive regimes. We
are seeing that right now in Cuba. The communist regime does not want
the free world to witness the brutal tactics they are deploying in
their effort to cling to power. So the regime is shutting down the
Internet connections that allow the Cuban people to shine a light on
those oppressive tactics.
"I was proud to stand with Governor DeSantis and Florida leaders in
Miami today to call on the Biden Administration to put its full
support behind efforts to end this Internet blockade. American
enterprises have the technology capability to beam Internet into Cuba,
and we must not lose any time in authorizing and clearing the way for
the deployment of those technologies"
