This whole episode showed how important Qualcom is for United States national security. It still looks like a potential acquisition target with a price tag set by Broadcom. If Intel acquires Broadcom (thus making it an American company) then it may go after Qualcom. Otherwise, Intel or someone with deep pockets may also try to acquire Qualcom directly.
