(WASHINGTON, DC) August 23, 2019–Today, ACT | The App Association released a statement from president Morgan Reed in response to the federal appeals court ruling that granted a partial stay of the sweeping antitrust judgment against Qualcomm.
“It’s a disappointing decision, but we’re confident that the courts will see through the absurdity of Qualcomm’s arguments in the end. Qualcomm has run a decades-long anticompetitive bait-and-switch scheme that has decimated the American wireless equipment industry and gift-wrapped the 5G market for China. Despite the company’s assertions, Qualcomm’s anticompetitive scheme is the single greatest threat to America’s 5G ambitions and the national security concerns raised by ceding 5G to China.”
