Write a 500 word essay with an original title, where you explore the proposed merger between Broadcom and Qualcomm. Do your own research, but you can begin here.
Some questions to consider:
Who is Broadcom, and how is it planning to get the sum of $121b (!!!) for the deal? Is this merger good for the economy? Why is Broadcom so keen? Why is Qualcomm so reluctant? What is the role of Apple in this deal? The article mentions that Broadcom threatened to pull its offer if Qualcomm "paid more than the $110 a share that it has already bid for NXP." What is the significance of that?
