U.S. may file suit over real estate rule

"U.S. may file suit over real estate rule | CNET News.com: "The trade group representing U.S. real estate brokers could face a lawsuit over an industry rule antitrust authorities fear could hurt online competitors and stifle commission discounts, a source familiar with the matter said Monday.

Lawyers from the Justice Department and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) are scheduled to meet on Wednesday to try to settle a long-simmering dispute over a new NAR bylaw that would allow brokers to bar some discount rivals from displaying their property listings on the Internet."
