Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is expected to lead a Senate subcommittee on antitrust law, plans to introduce a bill to limit corporate monopoly power with a focus on technology firms.

The bill, which could come within weeks, would place limits on the ability of giant corporations to gobble up smaller competitors, especially so-called “maverick” firms that offer better products and services to consumers, a spokeswoman said.
