<<I apologize for being such a nay sayer, since this is definitely near term accretive (next 1 to 2 years) for Qualcomm, but it feels like it would if Microsoft had sold the rights to DOS in 87 for $5B - very accretive but the unnecessary loss of a great opportunity.>> I don't think the analogy holds. The Q sold an unprofitable component of the business - one which they might never be able to develop to full potential given competitive and political realities. They still own CDMA IPR (DOS) and will be licensing and receiving royalties until the cows come you know where.
