Son arrived at where he is today by making high risky bets. This was the only way a foreigner like him could get ahead in Xenophobic Japan.
When Son bought Sprint, that made sense because Sprint had tons of TDD spectrum at 2.5 Ghz that could be used to implement a cheap Chinese 5G TD-LTE network, while everybody else are forced to pay king's random to buy the only mmwave 5G tech that works at 28 Ghz that FCC released for US 5G services, Samsung 5G.
Purchasing ARM doesn't make sense, because all major customers are licensing the instruction set and not the microarchitecture of ARM cores designed by ARM. Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, and AMD all use own-designed ARM compatible cores, and these instruction set license brings in pennies per device sold. So where is Son's billions in new revenues that IoT would bring in? A billion device sold might bring in $50 million in revenue if it is an instruction set license.
So I think this is a bad bet.
I'll have you know the Dark Ages were a time of great enlightenment and learning in the British Isles. Yes, we didn't wash much but we were very good at wattle and daub architecture. As for anarchy in the UK, we already had that in the 70s but nowadays we are too apathetic for revolution.
The reason it works for Intel is that the hardware is cheap and available from lots of places. People have been buying these things for years without any need for ARM. So, ARM needs to produce servers that cost 30 - 40% less than Intel ones. Call me when that happens.

Re: Brexit / knowledge worker employment. Cheerleaders for globalism say there's nothing to be done about manufacturing jobs moving to countries where labor is cheapest; you just have to invest in knowledge workers, they say. But this maneuver should remind globalists that knowledge workers can reside literally anywhere. Iain notes this as well, but it's another point that should not be lost in the shuffle.
