Just for argument sake. With the market of late, don't be surprise
by downward pressure. $1.3 billion on the surface sounds
impressive, but at a 15% margin thats less than $200 million
over 3 years, presently and shared with Sony. OF course,
that will change in time.

At times, I've traded my shares of QCOM after run ups, only to buy
them back (SEP/IRA account). I maintain a positive on this
co. long term. However, with the market probably in a funk into
August (if next employment number is good and people are
making more money.....watch out) QCOM probably will see
$35 again. I already bought back at $38 so I'm not worried
about another drop.

Now for an update of my firsthand run in's with CDMA. I posted
some time ago about a project that involves Primeco that I
was involve with. This is moving a major oil companies M/W
off of the 1.8 to 1.9 GHz freq. Primeco has been agressively
moving people off these freq here in Texas (Dallas/Houston).
I can't say that I'm impressed with Primeco's grasp of certain
laws of physic's. They are throwing alot of money around.
In the offshore environment, that gets expensive fast. We are
now going with a third approach as the first two were failures.
ATT they were wanting to turn on the Galveston xmitters, but
haven't. I press them for some info and haven't gotten much
from them. I'm sure they aren't happy with my correct prediction
on the first two fiasco's. The third approach is a reaction from
my first lesson about what they are trying to do.

I realize the guys are big phone company types and understand
the mentality. They aren't in a pannick mode yet. The did
however express getting this up and running before the end
of the year. I press them on a regular basis to listen to the
phones, but they aren't allowing that at this time.
