thank you, Ken, for the p'r on bluetooth-cdma. i wish it had another name, sounds painful.
about the patent expirations, isn't that important for us to know? i've got - for me - a lotta qcom! if the royalty revenue stops in 2006, i've got a wasting asset. when you have an oil well scheduled to play out in 2006, the market demands a 25% CASH return. i can't rely on stock price to give me that if the merry-go-round stops in 6 years. on the contrary, as more and more people realize the end is near, the price, i fear, will stop rising.
surely a genius like dr jacobs has some strategy to at least mitigate a sudden STOP.
