Global semiconductor revenue grew 10.4% in 2020 to $466.2 billion, reported Gartner Monday. “Memory, GPUs and 5G chipsets led semiconductor growth, driven by hyperscale, PC, ultramobile and 5G handset end-market demand,” said analyst Andrew Norwood. “Automotive and industrial electronics suffered due to lower spending or a pause in spending owing to COVID-19.” Intel remained the world’s top semiconductor vendor by revenue with a 15.6% share; Samsung had 12.4% and SK hynix was a distant third at 5.5%, said Gartner.

European Union Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, in a Der Spiegel interview published April 10, said that the EU has offered to lift its retaliatory tariffs in response to 25% tariffs on EU steel and 10% tariffs on EU aluminum, while they try to resolve the overcapacity problem. “We have proposed suspending all mutual tariffs for six months in order to reach a negotiated solution,” Dombrovskis said, according to the EU press office in Washington. “This would create a necessary breathing space for industries and workers on both sides of the Atlantic,” he said.

The Vermont Public Utility Commission granted Comcast's motion to reconsider its 2018 ruling that interconnected VoIP is a telecom service under federal law and won't proceed to phase two of the proceeding, the PUC said in a modified order Monday in docket 7316 (see 1803070060). "Although we are not persuaded that the analysis of FCC precedent in our previous order was in error, we conclude that a determination that VoIP services are telecommunications services under federal law would conflict with the FCC policy of targeted VoIP regulation," the order said. An attorney for Comcast didn't respond to a request for comment. “We are extremely pleased that the Vermont PUC has paused its decision to consider new regulations for VoIP providers, recognizing that a national regulatory framework is consistent with FCC policy,” said Glenn Richards, counsel to the Voice on the Net Coalition, which participated as an amicus in the proceeding.
Alcohol trade groups and the retailers and restaurants that sell alcoholic beverages are asking for the tariffs on distilled spirits in connection with the Section 232 tariffs to be lifted and the pause in tariffs on wines and spirits in the aircraft subsidy case to be made permanent. Calling themselves the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition, the 47-member coalition made the call March 23. They noted that European countries continue to tax bourbon and whiskey at 25%, and that that rate is set to double on June 1, because of U.S. tariffs on British and European Union-made steel.
