Such a decision would be the European Commission’s first interim order in almost two decades. The measure prohibits certain activities until the regulator completes its investigations, which typically take several years, and could pave the way for similar action against other tech companies. Interim measures are rare because of the high bar proving a company’s practice would cause lasting harm to market competition. The Commission’s last order, 18 years ago, was thrown out by an EU court after the company then involved challenged it.

Should Broadcom ignore the EU order?
