I think this is the play. They can create or influence standards that favor their new position - build vertical integration where others in this space cannot.

Absolutely not.

You’re thinking that Broadcom acts as a company with a technological vision. This is a totally not the case and the CEO is very open about that.

Today’s Broadcom is a company that optimizes the financial performance of technology assets.

There are no long term plans.
