Interesting given that they own ARM.

  Also behind Sprint, which wants to acquire T-Mobile.

    While Sprint tried to acquire T-Mobile in the past...the situation has changed. SoftBank is purportedly willing to cede their controlling stake of Sprint in order to facilitate the merger: https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2017/02/21/assessing-the-likelihood-of-a-sprint-t-mobile-merger/#5b4d5d2935bc https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2017/02/21/as... I am not sure I would characterize a successful negotiation as Sprint acquiring T-Mobile at this point.

      I'd rather see someone like a Comcast/Liberty get Sprint and T-Mobile rather than this combo everyone talks about (daily [0]). I don't see them competing well otherwise in the long run.

  I don't see any conflict here. nVidia's SoCs including TX1 and TX2 are ARM architecture for the CPU portion. It's also not a bad idea to invest in multiple competing technologies and companies to reduce risk when you believe in the industry as a whole.

    arcanus may not have meant "bad, because competition" - perhaps instead "maybe good, because synergy".

      ^ very much so. My comment was admittedly (unintentionally) ambiguous.
