The same as Thom, it is interesting to see what's really going on in this case. Given the information above, it looks more like refusal to deal.

Where's the unreasonably exclusionary conduct? Raising the price you charge to a competitor? It seems Trinko would foreclose that theory. Inducing TradeComet to expend resources to make changes and then not reducing price as promised? That sounds like a breach of contract, at worst. Would that count as unreasonably exclusionary conduct so as to warrant imposition of treble damages in antitrust? I look forward to reading the complaint.
