Here's a question for the thread....

Say in 2010, QCOM actually does have a $20 billion dollar royalty stream. What do you do with that kind of money, if you're an ASICS company that doesn't have any fabs?

I'm not arguing the dollar number, or the timing, but going forward, this is going to be a question that they need to address. What do they do with all the money they're going to be making? And yes, I can imagine funding new projects, and buying complementary technologies, but come on... $20 billion a year's worth? What about a (shudder) dividend?

Just curious what other people thing...
