QUALCOMM WCDMA Market Share

100,

One more recall ...

I heard Sanjay answer a question about this but didn't take notes. Below is from a TMF poster and what he states is pretty much as I recall it.

His answer (in my words): To achieve 50% market share two things will need to happen.

1) The handset vendors currently signed up to use QCT UMTS ASICS will need to claim a disproportionate share of the UMTS handset market relative to their current GSM market share.

2) QCT will have to score another tier 1 customer, i.e. Nok, Sony-Ericy or Motorola.

To a follow on question (again I do not recall the analyst) Sanjay replied that the customer most likely to switch is Motorola, but they want a "very good deal and not to charge royalties." (audience laughs)


Preceeding the above as recalled by the TMF poster, Sanjay adroitley avoided a direct answer and instead stated that it depended on how sucessful new launches with QUALCOMM's customer's hansets were, and how sucessful QUALCOMM's customers particular handsets were againsst competitive handsets.
