Rajala,

NORTEL NETWORKS CORP - Telstra Demonstrate Highest
'Live' GPRS Data Rate
Tue Jun 27 08:47:00 EDT 2000

Toronto, Ontario, Jun. 27, 2000 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Nortel
Networks and Telstra have recorded a world first, demonstrating live Wireless
Internet applications at speeds in excess of 50 kilobits per second (kbps) on a
live GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) system, more than five times the speed
currently available over GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) digital
wireless networks.

QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology,
today announced the successful completion of the world's first third-generation (3G) CDMA 1x Multi-Carrier (1x) wireless data transmissions
featuring up to 153 kilobits per second (kbps) on both forward and reverse channels.

Obviously GPRS does not currently have comparable speed to 1X.
