I-Apple kunye ne-Broadcom bafunyaniswe benetyala lokusebenzisa itekhnoloji engenazingcingo ye-Wi-Fi eyenziwe yiCalifornia Institute of Technology, eyaziwa ngcono njengeCaltech, ngaphandle kokufikelela kwisivumelwano sokusetyenziswa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza. Isigwebo sibanyanzela ukuba bahlawule i-1.100 yezigidi, I-838.8 yezigidi kwi-Apple kunye nezinye kwi-Broadcom.
Ityala libuyele emva ngo-2016, xa uCaltech wamangalela zombini iinkampani ngokusebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-Wi-Fi kwi-iPhone, i-iPad, iApple Watch, ii-AirPorts ezindala kunye neeMac kwaye zaba lelona tyala likhulu lokuziphatha ngokwesini ngalo lonke ixesha kwicandelo lobuchwepheshe. Njengoko bekulindelekile, bobabini U-Apple njengo-Broadcom uvakalise isigqibo sokubhena.
Ijaji ayiqwalaselanga ukuba iApple isebenzise kuphela iichips zeBroadcom, ebekufanele ukuba zifikelele kwisivumelwano selungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, ukuba bekunjalo, noCaltech, ukuba bekunjalo. Nangona kunjalo, Ijaji ifumene iApple inetyala lokusebenzisa itekhnoloji. Amagqwetha wazo zombini ezi nkampani akukhanyele ukungalunganga, esithi uCaltech akanalungelo lomonakalo obonakalayo.
Iziko lobuchwephesha laseCalifornia, ngesithethi salo, liyangqina ukuba lisonwabile isigqibo kuba eli ziko lizimisele ukukhusela ipropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda, elisivumelayo ukwandisa ulwazi lomntu kunye nokuxhamla uluntu ngophando oludibeneyo kwimfundo.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iApple neMicrosoft bajongane nenani elikhulu lezimangalo ezivela kwiinkampani ezithengwe yiminye imibutho ngeyona njongo Ukumangalela eyona inkulu kwaye ufumane umthombo obalulekileyo wemali.
Ezi nkampani, zibizwa Iipatroli zamalungelo abenzi, Iintsuku zabo zibaliwe ngenxa yoxinzelelo iinkampani ezinkulu ezilubeka kurhulumente welizwe, abasaphandi kwaye baphuhlise itekhnoloji, basebenzise kuphela iinkampani ezinamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza asele eza kuvalwa ukuzithenga nokuzimangalela kamva.
