RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser has endorsed the European Commission’s decision as more solid than the U.S. settlement, and predicting that it would aid his company’s private suit against the software giant.
“Our lawyers tell me that (the Commission’s ruling) will strengthen our private suit,” Glaser said.
Glaser labelled the U.S. criticism of the Commission’s decision as “not trans-Atlantic politics, but sour grapes…It’s an election year and politicians might well say things that appeal to the local crowd.”
Reuters: He did say that the fragmentation seen in the computer industry was probably not going to be repeated in the mobile phone industry, which RealNetworks is targeting as the next big growth opportunity.
