A big part of Broadcom’s current business model seems to be:

• Buy company that makes an important product/service used by many big companies.
• Squeeze the acquired company for every last drop of short term profit; increasing prices, abandoning products, etc.
• Watch large companies jump ship to other solutions
• Repeat

If I am remembering correctly, Australia also has laws that allow the government to force private companies to build backdoors. I think it was the Ass Access Act.
