  when broadcom is finished playing with stone knives and bear skins, then they can assume a modern distribution model

  and for what its worth i cut my cable a long time ago due to poor channel selection and content as well as all the graffitti that is plastered all over something that is supposed to be entertaining but becomes annoying like a child standing infront of the screen on purpose.

  if broadcom can address those issues im sure they can do well.

  This article is terrible. Somewhere in the middle they claim the actual claim is about patent infringement, not loss of income due to changing consumer preferences.

  (Yes, Patent trolling needs to be stopped)
