Though I do not know what percentage of Nextwave is owned by Qualcomm, I am quite sure I remember that they wrote off $20 million in the 1998 tax year which was, I think, all of their investment in Nextwave. If the company comes out of bankruptcy I would imagine the Q would have a one time gain of $20mm just like they had a one time loss back then. And I would expect treatment of original investors would be part of the bankruptcy negotiations and each investor might get some form of debt/pfd convertible/or ownership shares in the reformed entity.

At the rate that QCOM is splitting their shares we won't see much per share by the time the whole situation gets resolved. (gg)
