The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that the merged entity’s strategy of increasing royalties for MIFARE or ceasing the licensing of MIFARE altogether to competitors, in addition to a mixed bundling conduct applied to LTE baseband chipsets, NFC chips and MIFARE-enable chips, would have the effect of foreclosing competitors of baseband chipsets and NFC and SE chips, and therefore the Transaction gives rise to a significant impediment to effective competition in the markets for LTE baseband chipsets and NFC and SE chips.
