<My feelings are that Q should spend its cash on:>

I agree with your suggestions and want to add that stock swaps are also getting more attractive with Q's growing valuation.

I had another thought that may fall into your #2. WCOM and Sprint recently purchased a lot of wireless cable spectrum.

While wireless cable never fully got off the ground, it obviously looks to these companies as a possible last-mile solution.

My question to the technically savvy among us (vs. the technically challenged of which I am one) is whether the spectrum they acquired can be used (or made to be used) with CDMA/HDR?

If that were technically possible, I would love to see QCOM "joint venture" with these two companies (to be one soon, I hope) to create this. IMHO it would expand the spectrum for HDR and I think advance HDR as a last mile solution.

So again for the engineers among us, does what I am talking about here make sense technically?
