The filing involves 23 other companies, so we should not be surprised to see the name of other NAND chips manufacturers to appear in a near future (among them Samsung, Hynix, etc.).
If this action can demonstrate the illegal agreement between manufacturers to artificially define high price for flash memory, the 25 companies involved could have to pay huge amount of money, and many of them might not survive.
