Qualcomm will postpone its shareholders’ annual meeting from 06-March-2018 until 05-April-2018.
Reportedly, Qualcomm secretly filed a voluntary request with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) asking for a preemptive investigation of Broadcom’s proposed merger. This request has now resulted in an order to postpone the shareholder meeting which could have resulted in a new board of directors.
Broadcom described the postponement as “a blatant, desperate act by Qualcomm to entrench its incumbent board of directors and prevent its own stockholders from voting for Broadcom’s independent director nominees.”

You just read about Qualcomm. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Airgo Networks built MIMO Wi-Fi chipsets. What became of it?
Airgo Networks brought MIMO Wi-Fi chipsets to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Qualcomm. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Qualcomm today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
