ARM is really ubiquitous in any device that isn't big iron or a personal computer, so you can bet the FTC would be all over any attempt at purchasing ARM Holdings, no matter who is buying. I think the only reason we haven't seen serious antitrust litigation against ARMH is because they're very good about licensing all the technology they produce to anyone that can pay and generally avoiding anti-competitive behavior. The FTC is going to be very nervous about that liberal licensing scheme going away if someone does purchase ARMH.
