European commission for the second time have paused its investigation on $QCOM's acquisition of NXP semiconductor. The antitrust regulators fear that this deal might trigger a rise in prices and might also reduce innovation in the semiconductor industry. http://alph.st/pb9a4874
Doesn't look as though the markets are too impressed with the deal/delay? Would it be better for Qualcomm shareholders if the deal was called off?

Not sure any predator is going to pay over the odds while there is so much uncertainty surrounding the company. Is this interest opportunistic or serious? I would be inclined to sell into strength if I had any shares
The share price is circa 10% under the original offer price valuation which suggests to me it will not go through?
