Court Rules GTE Not Required to Divest in Antitrust Case
U S Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturns an order demanding GTE divestiture of certain subsidiaries. ITT had sued in Hawaii, claiming antitrust violations. The court says divestiture is unavailable in private actions and redefines the relevant market to include Bell System purchases and non‑telephone customers. The case is remanded for reconsideration with guidelines.
