Stu - regarding calculations for predicting Qualcomm's earnings going out ten years :

Did you consider the possible HUGE boost to earnings from a variation (that I just came up with) regarding Maurice Winn's "wacko wireless" pricing scheme ?

(Visit the SI Globalstar thread; read almost any post by Maurice, and he will most likely bring up the topic of "wacko wireless" pricing).

(Pricing based on capacity utilization of the Globalstar constellation at any particular instant, with the ability of you, the person who simply wanted to make a phone call, to "just say no" to that moment's wacko wireless pricing).

Anyway -- my thought on a potential big money maker for Qualcomm and Globalstar -- betting on what the wacko wireless pricing will be (right before you find out the answer) !

Press 1 if you would like to place a wager on what the per minute charge will be ... press 2 if you just want to see the wacko wireless price quote ... press 3 if you want to send Maurice a pizza that he did not order ...

(Apologies in advance to Maurice. These stressful financial markets lately have started "warping" me even more ...)

Good luck to everyone for (possibly) another wild day tomorrow ...

Jon.
