Welcome to the Tech Mem Ride Home for Wednesday, May 22nd, 2019. I'm Brian McCullough.

Today, the Huawei mess metastasizes the EU goes after Google again.

Qualcomm loses to the FTC

and Comcast, of all people,

is getting into health tech.

Here's what you miss today in the world of Tech.

So I guess yesterday when I said maybe things were settling down around this

Huawei madness, I might have spoken really, really prematurely.

The BBC got its hands on an internal memo at arm where the company is telling staff that they must suspend all business, including

active contracts, support entitlements, and pending engagements with Huawei.

In a company memo, Arm said its designs contain U.S. origin technology.

As a consequence, it believes it is affected by the Trump administration's ban.

One analyst described the move, if it became long term, as an

quote insurmountable blow to Huawei's business. He said it would greatly affect the

firm's ability to develop its own ships, many of which are currently

built with arms underlying technology for which it pays a license, end quote.

Yes, it would be hard to see how Huawei could survive if it lost access to Silicon.

It can maybe work its way around the software ban, continue to hack away at the open source version

of Android that it uses in China or build its own

OS. Indeed, Bloomberg was reporting, quote, should Google system no longer be available?

Quote, then the alternative option will naturally come out either from wahue or someone else.
