The report of a breakdown in negotiations and the death of "CDMA" at Reliance could be exaggerated. There has been almost pure misinformation in the press. The whole concept of the cost of a chipset as part of the royalty is dumb ["Qualcomm charges a royalty in the range of $13 to $15 per CDMA chip, it's much less at around $3 in countries such as China and Korea, the source added." ]

How much does Qualcomm depend on India's 2G? How much of fiscal '07 earnings is or was expected from India?

I appreciate Jim's optimism, which has been based essentially on numbers and prospects for future earnings, and I'd like to see his and others' analysis for earnings -- not sentiment-- given the new challenges to Qualcomm's business. I believe Jim has allowed for some PE compression, but we may need more.

edit: Hooray! GSM operators have switched to CDMA and Qualcomm has gained revenue from 70 million former GSM subscribers!!!!!! A billion are expected to try to ride IJ's train in the next few years!!!!
