Even if CDMA2000 only sweeps the US it will be a multi-billion dollar payoff. Consumerism, as much as people may make fun of US consumerism (e.g. Ford could not keep white Ford Broncos in the Show room after the OJ trial) without it the entire world would be greatly effected.

I have no numbers so this is just my opinion, in my travels
I have seen no other culture (except perhaps evolving in
china and re-establishng itself in Japan- two large markets I admit) that is as eager to spend money on new appliances,
cars, electronics, etc as America. I doubt that the
global manufacturing community would be where it is today
without the US consumer.

Why do you think that the entire world views the US patent
office as "the world patent office", why do companies like
Ericsson(Hockey), Nokia (Sugar Bowl, Snow Boarding)
target the US. Itis the largest consumer market in the world.

I again have no numbers however I would not be suprised
that for every $1.00 spent by a German, Brit etc on
a "luxury" item, an American spends $5.00.

So with this said, if Qualcom could sweep the US market
and take royalties from IPR in other regions they will
still make alot of $$$ over time.

Shareholders should think about this.
