SEOUL, Nov 30 (Reuters) – South Korea’s anti-trust agency has delayed a ruling on Microsoft Corp.’s business practices to next week, after a review committee again failed to reach an agreement, a Fair Trade Commission (FTC) spokesman said on Wednesday.
The watchdog had been expected to rule this week on allegations the world’s largest software maker breached antitrust laws by incorporating its instant messaging and media player softwares into the Windows operating system.
It was similarly postponed last week.
