OK, I'll take that and give you another one. I'm guessing that PAIR will be taken by BRCM. Henri Samueli was a founder of PAIR as well as BRCM, but was too frustrated at PAIR because he lost control to VCs (needed the money to get started) and took his $$ to play in another game. Now that BRCM has a market cap 8X of PAIR, BRCM can easily afford it using inflated stock and PAIR's ASDL chips/business is an excellent parallel to BRCM's cable modem chips/business combining technology in the two hottest pieces of the network market.
