简明反垄断法法英文指南/赵庆庆译(22)
纵向合并是相互间存在买卖关系的公司间的合并。如一制造商与其零配件供应者间的合并，或与其产品销售商间的合并。纵向合并加大了其它市场竞争者获取零配件或市场销售渠道的难度，从而对市场竞争造成了损害。这通常被称为 “纵向排斥”或 “瓶颈”问题。
Take the merger of Time Warner, Inc., producers of HBO and other video programming, and Turner Corp., producers of CNN, TBS, and other programming. The FTC was concerned that Time Warner could refuse to sell popular video programming to competitors of cable TV companies owned or affiliated with Time Warner or Turner -- or offer to sell the programming at discriminatory rates. That would allow Time Warner-Tuner affiliate cable companies to maintain monopolies against competitors like Direct Broadcast Satellite and new wireless cable technologies. What’s more, the Time Warner-Turner affiliates could hurt competition in the production of video programming by refusing to carry programming produced by competitors of both Time Warner and Turner. The FTC allowed the merger, but prohibited discriminatory access terms at both levels to prevent anticompetitive effects.
在Time Warner（HBO与一些其它视频节目的制片人）与Turner Corp（CNN，TBS和一些其它节目的制片人）的合并案中，联邦贸易委员会关注的是Time Warner可以拒绝向有线电视公司所有或附属的且与Time Warner或Turner Corp有竞争关系的公司销售流行的视频节目。抑或Time Warner可以以歧视性的价格销售。这便可使得Time Warner或Turner Corp附属的有线电视公司可以在市场上保持垄断地位，并抵制像Direct Broadcast Satellite 和 new wireless cable technologies这样的竞争者。况且，Time Warner-Turner还可以拒绝传送两家公司的竞争者所制作发行的节目，这便对视频产品节目市场的竞争造成了损害。虽然，联邦贸易委员会批准了本合并案，但其禁止了有关歧视性条款以防产生反竞争性的后果。
