Qualcomm thinks key for 3G-CDMA will be applications Extracted from: Applied Micro eyes modest rebound cbs.marketwatch.com Qualcomm: Talking about generations In a later presentation Wednesday, Qualcomm President Paul Jacobs commented on the evolution of CDMA (or code-division-multiple-access) wireless communications technology, saying that applications will drive interest in 3G. "There's a lot of hype right now about [second- and third-generation] CDMA," he said. "You will hear a lot of noise from 2G people, but in the end the difference will be the services that 3G can support at a cheaper cost and greater speed." Jacobs also updated attendees on the progress of CDMA in China, saying that, since deployment is moving along, marketing will become important. He also called India a "potential big opportunity." Asked about the revenue potential of the company's BREW (binary-runtime-environment for wireless) software platform, which runs on top of its handset system software, Jacobs explained that Qualcomm currently licenses the product free of charge because it wants BREW to be as broadly deployed as possible. The company expects eventually to make money on the technology through revenue-sharing arrangements based on applications developed to run on top of the platform. Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM: news, chart, profile) dipped 77 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $53.53, in afternoon action. Michael Baron is a reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com based in New York.
