CTOnews.com, July 21, according to Bloomberg, Sarah Cardell, head of the British antitrust regulator Competition and Market Authority (CMA), said today that CMA has not been forced to reconsider rejecting Microsoft's proposal to buy Activision Blizzard, and CMA may not give the green light to the deal even if Microsoft submits a new proposal.
