PROCEDURAL DISPUTE: The U.S. government says Apple wants to rush its antitrust lawsuit over the price of electronic books by finishing evidence gathering by year’s end. Apple acknowledges it has a “special urgency” in ending the case.
THE ACCUSATIONS: The government sued this year, joining 15 states in saying Apple and several publishers conspired in the fall of 2009 to force e-book prices several dollars above the $9.99 charged by Amazon.com on its popular Kindle device.
MORE TIME: The government says it wants until March to finish gathering facts.
