If anyone has any sources that indicate that a sale by an ASIC competitor would be bottom-line neutral, I would love to see it.

It's not neutral. But my instincts tell me the growth of CDMA is rapid enough that even if the Q's ASIC market share declines to 20% over the next 3 years, which I don't see happening, then the rise in royalties due to volume would allow the Q to continue to grow earnings at a rapid rate. And the earnings that would remain would be the best kind, high margin and protected from competitive threats due to the industries inability to ignore their current investments in equipment even if a more advanced air interface is developed.

Keep a tight grip on those Q shares!
