Brussels - European competition enforcers announced on Monday they are probing computer giant IBM on two separate cases relating to antitrust infringements.
"The European Commission has decided to initiate formal antitrust investigations against IBM Corporation in two separate cases of alleged infringements of EU antitrust rules related to the abuse of a dominant market position," it said in a statement.
The charges relate to the firm's mainframe computer business, which are the huge computers used by governments and big companies to run large-scale operations, and follow complaints about obstacles to the market by rival software makers T3 and Turbo Hercules as well as commission concerns on IBM's relations with maintenance suppliers.
