I hope any merger or purchase of Broadcom is thoroughly investigated, considering how much of the datacenter market and even consumer networking is reliant on them there's a lot of ways the entire industry could get messed up by the purchasing company. Between switch ASIC's like the Trident II, RAID controllers and SAS HBA's, 802.11 chips, DOCSIS modem chips, optics, etc. they are almost everywhere even if you don't see them.
