The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) set a date on Wednesday for its internal judge to hear its arguments on why Microsoft (MSFT.O) should not be allowed to buy games maker Activision Blizzard (ATVI.O).
The case is set to be heard 20 days after an appeals court rules on whether the deal may go forward. The FTC had fought the deal in district court but lost and appealed.
