Kwisikhalazo esifakwe nguApple ngoLwesihlanu odlulileyo, nge-20 kaJanuwari, uDonald J. Rosenberg, usekela mongameli we Qualcomm, uye waphendula wathi imfuno ayinangqondo. Inkampani ebonelela ngecandelo ikhuphe ingxelo esemthethweni malunga nesicelo esenziwe nguApple phambi kwe-United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC), apho kufuneka uhlawule i-1000 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, ngenxa yezenzo zokukhuphisana ezingalunganga kunye nokuxhatshazwa ngokuchasene nenkampani yaseCupertino.
I-FTC nayo ihlawulise Qualcomm yokusebenzisa ezo ndlela zokungakhuphisani ukugcina imonopoly yayo ekuboneleleni kweeprosesa zetheminali eziphathwayo.
UDonal J. Rosenberg, omele inkampani yakhe, utshilo oku kulandelayo:
“Ngelixa sikwinkqubo yokuphonononga isikhalazo esenziwe yi-Apple Inc. ngokweenkcukacha, Kucace gca ukuba amabango abawenzayo akanasiseko kwaphela. U-Apple uzimela kakubi ngabom izivumelwano zethu kunye nothethathethwano, kwaye akakuxabisanga ukubaluleka kunye nexabiso lobuchwephesha esibuqulunqileyo, esinegalelo kubo, kunye nokwabelana nabo bonke abavelisi bezixhobo eziphathwayo ngeelayisensi zethu.
iapile ubesoloko ekhuthaza uhlaselo lolawulo oluchasene neshishini leQualcomm kwiindawo ezininzi kwihlabathi jikelele, njengoko kubonisiwe kwisigqibo samva nje se-KFTC kunye nesikhalazo se-FTC, ngenxa yokungamelanga iinyani kunye nokubamba ulwazi.
Siyalamkela ithuba lokuva la mabango ahlekisayo enkundleni apho siya kuba nelungelo lokufunda ngokucokisekileyo nangokupheleleyo kwiindlela zika-Apple kunye novavanyo oluqinileyo lokufaneleka.
Okwangoku, olu ngquzulwano lutsha phakathi kwezi zigebenga zimbini zeteknoloji isekude ukuba isonjululwe. Siza kubona ukuba ezi mfuno zivela njani kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ukuba zisichaphazela njani thina abasebenzisi bokuphela.
