QUALCOMM (BUY)

It is important to note that the Unicom agreement only covers new Chinese manufacturers that wish to license CDMA. Motorola (MOT/$137/BUY), Ericsson (ERICY/$79.94/Long-Term Buy), Lucent (LU/$56/BUY), Nortel (NT/$94/BUY) and other international vendors - all of which are expected to compete for CDMA business in China - will still pay QUALCOMM the same standard royalty rates set in their individual licensing agreements. Unicom said it plans to begin building a network "promptly," and we would expect that will mean a large portion of the initial build will go to international vendors.

We reiterate our BUY rating on QCOM shares and $170 price target.

(J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as co- or lead-manager in an offering of securities for LU, NT and ERICY within the past three years. A director of J.P. Morgan is a director of LU. The covering analyst or research associate holds a position in LU.)

Wireless technology vendor Qualcomm [QCOM] also anticipates a surge in the use of location technologies. The San Diego-based pioneer of the CDMA interface standard is buying GPS technology vendor SnapTrack for $1 billion in stock. The purchase will provide Qualcomm with GPS software to work with its gpsOne chipset.

SnapTrack's technology has been adopted by Japanese wireless giant NTT Mobile Communications [MBNXY] and has been tested by Spanish GSM provider Telefonica Moviles, a subsidiary of Telefonica [TEF].

Last October, SnapTrack commenced an agreement with DSP Communications [DSP] to co-market and develop chipsets with SnapTrack's software for wireless formats such as CDMA and cdma2000. (now Intel owns DSP ?)hmmmmm
