Broadcom has a strange history. I remember in the late 1990s attending ANSI standards meetings with “the 2 Henrys” who founded Broadcom. Back then, they were just regular guys, not billionaires.
My recollection is one of them, I think Henry Nicholas, was at PairGain and developed an in-house fabless semiconductor design organization with innovative tools that could basically compile a modem chip from a list of specs. Today we would probably call it AI. He wanted PairGain to go into the chip design business and sell services to other customers but they didn’t want to do that, so he and his mentor from UCLA formed their own company. Looks like the company is owned by a bunch of private equity companies today. All they see is dollar signs. As somebody already pointed out, if they are screwing over their giant customers, the little guys have no chance.
