Fresh off the Gorilla Game list. Any comments? ----------------- Reply-To: "Gorilla Game discussion list" <gg@webcom.com> Subject: Re: QCOM To: Gorilla Game discussion list <gg@webcom.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: <gg@webcom.com> Precedence: Bulk With today's announcement by QCOM that it is planning to exit the handset business, it would be easy to assume that this is just part of their long term plan put in place years ago. I think this is the furthest from the truth. Qualcomm never thought that they could make any real money on ASICs. That's why the ASIC group wasn't properly staffed and run by a bunch of yahoos until just a couple of years ago. I think Qualcomm was trying to make a serious run at the infrastructure and handset markets. That's where most of the employees were. Once the handset business is sold, Qualcomm will probably have only 20% of their employees left. As a long term QCOM investor, I'd like to believe that what we are witnessing this year is part of a long term plan, but that's just not accurate.
