Broadcom

(NasdaqNM: BRCM)

USA

Broadcom can be excused if it isn't picking winners in the latest fight over whether high-definition movies will be delivered in the Blu-ray or HD-DVD format. The Irvine (Calif.) company makes chips for DVD players that will show them both. In fact, Broadcom has become a $3 billion silicon powerhouse by sidestepping the technological battlegrounds to make chips for just about any communications or media device on the market. It's making chips to power the set-top boxes used by satellite, cable and now telephone companies in their battle for TV subscribers, and for modems used by warring DSL and cable data service providers. A serial acquirer of small technology companies, it scooped up 11 companies over the past three years, paying more than $500 million to push further into Bluetooth chipsets, mobile TV tuners, and low-powered Wi-Fi technology to grab an even bigger chunk of the fast-growing wireless market. Today, its fastest-growing unit makes chips for wireless routers, camera-clicking cell phones, and other wireless devices. Its newfound power in the wireless business hasn't come without struggle: It's currently embroiled in a three legal fights, including one before the European Commission in which it accused cell-phone chip giant Qualcom of patent infringement and anti-competitive practices. That's one fight in which Broadcom intends to take sides.
