The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States is investigating whether Japan's SoftBank Group's Arm Holdings is attempting to illegally monopolize part of the semiconductor market by potentially refusing to authorize or reducing the quality of central processing unit (CPU) authorizations. The FTC's investigation is part of ongoing scrutiny of Arm's business globally. Regulatory bodies outside the United States are also investigating the company's behavior, including a lawsuit filed by Qualcomm against the European Commission. Arm is shifting its business model to include designing its own chips, a move that has been welcomed by some in the industry but has also raised concerns from Qualcomm that Arm may restrict access to its technology (Bloomberg).
