Qualcomm Dips as Motorola Plans Chip Sales
As reported August 4 by the SD Union Tribune
********************
Meanwhile, Qualcomm, which owns about 90 percent market share in the
ASICs market, sounded a lot like its aggressive software partner, Microsoft, when confronted with Motorola's latest salvo.
Dick Grannis, Qualcomm's treasurer, said Qualcomm has vanquished the
Schaumburg, Ill.-based giant before. He noted that Motorola lost in the battle against OmniTracs, Qualcomm's satellite tracking system used in the trucking industry.
Grannis also kicked sand in the face of Iridium, the troubled
Motorola-backed satellite phone system that may confront serious, if not fatal, competition later this year from Qualcomm-backed Globalstar.
"If they want to compete with us on ASICs, we look forward to doing that," Grannis said.
