You didn't really quote me out of context- I didn't express myself well. One of the things I like about this thread is it's relative lack of tendentiousness. I'm here to learn, not argue. Anybody who has been in the stock market a while should have learned to keep an open mind. I'm no expert in wireless either but I'm trying hard to learn the fundamentals. It's for sure that for one phone to talk to another they need to be speaking the same "language", so protocols have to be compatible at each link in the process. It would seem that this should vary at the receiving end of a call placed from a cell phone, depending on whether the receiving end was a regular UTP wire phone, or a cellular CDMA or cellular TDMA etc. While the cell call is inside the wire - fiber network it follows the same rules as all the other traffic. Whether QCOM is a Moore gorilla or not really doesn't matter if there are enough other factors in it's favor. The wireless business is is in the early phases of mass acceptance. In fact, except for computer linkage and the www, who needs a wired phone anymore? And at least partial access to thw www is coming to cellular very soon, with more to follow. Another potetial home run for wireless is the potential to solve at least some of the "last mile" telecom problems. Since QCOM sold it's innfrastructure business I guess it's not a player.
