MH ,
I just posted this on the "Intellectual" thread and thought that it might be of help to post it here as well incase there are any answers on the 'home" thread! ( sorry RS only a joke about the home thrread!!!!)...i'm a bit scared of Ramsey Su!! Post 33248 by mp was an article by Simon Walsh of CBS Market Watch and contained the following:-
For Qualcomm, two big events loom on the horizon. The first comes in July, when the company reports third-quarter earnings. Then, in October, the International Telecommunications Union will consider endorsing CDMA as the standard for 3G, or "third generation" wireless. Most analysts expect that endorsement, possibly as early as November. If it happens, Qualcomm's royalty income could swell even more.
Meanwhile, Sulpizio says Qualcomm will keep doing what it does best: Dreaming up new technologies it can patent and license to others. His goal is to build Qualcomm into a major telecom player by pushing CDMA into every conceivable nook and cranny where it would make things better, faster or smarter -- from communications chips embedded in laptops to product-monitoring gauges on store shelves. "The market is getting big," he says, "and the future is bright."
What is the latest regarding the 3g Standards Issue. I don't suppose the ITU is about to get its revenge against the Q is it? If thats not the reason for todays little upset then the stock really will take off back to the stratsophere when the ITU endorses the Q.
Best regards,
