The Federal Trade Commission has played, and should continue
to play, a key role in preserving and promoting competition in information
technology markets. In this Essay we review recent FTC decisions
involving this sector in the context of the continuing efforts of antitrust academics
and practitioners to develop doctrines for evaluating competition issues
in such markets. We also discuss the doctrinal and jurisdictional issues
raised by the Federal Communications Commission’s expanding role in such
markets, including through its Open Internet proceedings.
