In a matter involving the merger of Andrew into CommScope brought in 2007, the DOJ employed Section 8 to prohibit interlocks that would have resulted from the merger. The merger would have brought along Andrew's 30 percent minority interest in Andes Industries – a third-party competitor to CommScope. CommScope and Andes were competitors with respect to drop cable (i.e., coaxial cable used to connect television transmission systems to customers' premises and equipment). To resolve the DOJ's concern the parties agreed that, as part of the merger, CommScope would divest Andrew's minority holding in Andes.
