BRUSSELS Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Betrue 2017 Scarpe Blu Scontate , Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) has finedU.S. smartphone chip supplier Qualcomm 997 million euros (1.23billion U.S. dollars) for abusing its market dominance, as itsactions were found illegal under EU anti-trust rules, the EuropeanCommission said on Wednesday.


Qualcomm is the world's largest supplier of long-term evolution(LTE) baseband chipsets, which enable smartphones and tablets toconnect to cellular networks and are used both for voice and datatransmission.


The Commission said Qualcomm illegally shut out rivals from themarket for LTE baseband chipsets for over five years, therebycementing its market dominance.


"Qualcomm paid billions of U.S. dollars to a key customer Offerta Uomo Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Scarpe Rosse ,Apple, so that it would not buy from rivals," said MargretheVestager, EU commissioner in charge of competition policy.


These payments were not just reductions in price, they were madeon the condition that Apple would exclusively use Qualcomm'sbaseband chipsets in all of its iPhones and iPads Uomo Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Scarpe Nere Saldi , Vestagersaid.


In 2011, Qualcomm signed an agreement with Apple, committing tomake significant payments to Apple on the condition that thecompany would exclusively use Qualcomm chipsets in its iPhone andiPad devices. In 2013, the term of the agreement was extended tothe end of 2016.


The agreement made clear that Qualcomm would cease thesepayments if Apple commercially launched a device with a chipsetsupplied by a rival company.


"This meant that no rival could effectively challenge Qualcommin this market, no matter how good their products were. Qualcomm'sbehavior denied consumers and other companies more choice andinnovation and this is a sector with a huge demand and potentialfor innovative technologies. This is illegal under EU antitrustrules Uomo Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Scarpe Blu Offerta ," she added.


Other chip manufacturers active in this market, such as Intel --the largest supplier for chipsets used in computers -- has tried tochallenge and compete with Qualcomm for customers.


Internal documents show that Apple seriously consideredswitching part of its baseband chipset requirements to Intel.However, because of Qualcomm's exclusivity condition, Apple decidedagainst doing so until the agreement came to an end.


The Commission opened its investigation in July 2015 and sent astatement of objections to Qualcomm in December, followed by aletter sent in February 2017 setting out additional factualelements relevant to the final decision.


The fine represents 4.9 percent of Qualcomm's turnover in2017.


Qualcomm said in a press release on Wednesday that it stronglydisagreed with the European Commission's decision and wouldimmediately appeal it to the General Court of the EuropeanUnion.


"We are confident this agreement did not violate EU competitionrules or adversely affect market competition or Europeanconsumers Uomo Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Scarpe Nere Bianche Saldi ," said Don Rosenberg, executive vice president andgeneral counsel of Qualcomm. "We have a strong case for judicialreview and we will immediately commence that process." Enditem


CANBERRA, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Australians are shying away from Indonesia's Bali as their holiday destination of choice, due to the "boycott Bali" campaign gaining momentum on social media.


Tourist operators and travel agencies said on Thursday that the number of Australians booking Bali holidays had already dropped off noticeably in the wake of the Indonesian government's decision to proceed with the execution of two Australians charged with drug- smuggling offenses.


Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are on death row in Bali for their role, with seven other people Nike Air Max 97 Scarpe Summit White Bianche Saldi , in a drug-smuggling operation that occurred in 2005.


A spokeswoman for travel aggregator, Cheapflights, told News Ltd on Thursday that the number of searches for Bali holidays had already drastically reduced after Foreign Minister Julie Bishop condemned Indonesian officials for not granting clemency to Chan and Sukumaran.


Bishop said last week Australian travelers would "register their deep disapproval (of the executions) including by making decisions about where they wished to holiday".


The social media campaign has also condemned low-cost airline Jetstar for promoting cheap fares to Bali, and Twitter users have asked others to boycott the airline.


Senior lecturer in internet studies at Perth's Curtin University, Tama Leaver Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Italia Scarpe Air Max 97 Nere , told News.au that the strong and sudden nature of the campaign would certainly affect short-term holiday numbers for the Indonesian island, but whether it will last rests on the executions going ahead.


"The social media backlash certainly has the ability to be in people's faces when they're thinking about where they go next, particularly when you consider how many travel bookings are made online," he said.


"It will depend on whether the executions happen or not, as to how long the campaign is sustained.


"But I would be surprised if there wasn't a notable downturn."


Leaver said other Southeast Asian holiday destinations had the most to gain from the backlash Acquistare Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Premium Scarpe Blu Grigie , due to the negligible difference in cost to travelling to other destinations.


"There isn't a huge financial difference between going to Bali and going to Thailand, and strategic operators will probably offer cheap deals to other places," he said.


LOS ANGELES, June 17 (Xinhua) -- A Colorado man was sentenced to 72 years in prison by a judge on Friday for beating his 84-year-old grandfather to death during a dinner argument.


Jason Vanbommel, 34 Donna Nike Air Max 97 GS Valentines Day Offerta Scarpe Rosa Bianche , was sentenced in Arapahoe District Court after being found guilty by a jury on April 13 of reckless manslaughter and first-degree assault of an at-risk adult, among other charges, the District Attorney's Office said.


According to the Denver Post, Vanbommel argued with his grandmother over what to have for dinner when she was ready to prepare shrimp on Dec. 29, 2015. His grandfather Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Sail Speed Rosse Bianche Saldi , Frans Vanbommel, interrupte.
