JimWillie. Interesting rumor from Rocket thread. Such a development could within 3 or 4 years make AWE an antique wireless island a big CDMA world. Can AWE move at Internet speed or is it forever a turtle moving at monopoly telecom speed?

QCOM/NOK Final Answer?

I finally got througha friend of a friend of a friend who works at QCOM. Here is what he says:

NOKIA buying out QCOM is utter bullshit. All that happening is that a european wireless body has
decided to open up the 3G standard to all kinds of CDMA in europe, which introduces QCOM to
europe by the end of this year since they have everything ready for deployment. This caused NOKIA
to start panicking because they are not ready for CDMA phones for another 2 years, meaning a huge
loss of market share to samsung and seimens. All NOKIA is currently negotiating is, "either a
favorable bulk rate for purchase of chips or outright purchase of Q's ASIC division"

This sounds more credible to me than NOK buying out QCOM.
