Tony - Re: "most people have been blinded by the Qualcomm light in the cell phone area, and with their patent(?) on CDMA technology. Do you know what the prospects of this Intel - Mitsubishi alliance might be?" Intel is licensed by Qualcomm for CDMA - this was done by Intel's purchase of DSP Communications which was previously licensed by Qualcomm - and Intel's follow up RENEWAL of the same license. Qualcomm has moved towards a CDMA LICENSING-CENTRIC position, and chip set sales - and AWAY from Cell phone manufacturing -as they recently sold off their hand set manufacturing division to Kyocera. So, Licensing, royalties & chip sets are the future for Qualcomm. Now, W-CDMA is a bit different - it is Wide Band CDMA - and is one of 2 CDMA variations that are vying for NEXT-GENERATION dominance. I'm pleased to see Intel out in front in this W-CDMA area ! Paul

Tony,check out Wi-Lan(Win.to) out of Alberta.......their technology could replace CDMA...boy I wish I'd held onto my other canadian stock=SierraWireless(SW.to) To: George Hassen (84889 ) From: Northern Cougar Saturday, Feb 26 2000 3:57PM ET Reply # of 84946 George re Wi-lan (tse:win), I agree this is going to be big. Great patents for the next generation of Wireless, check out their web site for info.. wi-lan.com They got on the TSE in 1999 and I wouldn't be surprised to se them get a Nasdaq listing in 2000.. then we'll see a big jump in the stock price similar to Sierra wireless (TSE:SW) who has had a big jump since they announced their intention to list on Nasdaq.. Here's hoping it happens sooner rather than later. ''Wi-LAN is looking at potentially three to six acquisitions during fiscal 2000. '' Says Dr. Hatim Zaghloul, Chairman and CEO, Wi-LAN. ''We have put together an excellent team to search for these companies and perform thorough due diligence on them. The team involves some Wi-LAN directors, managers, legal counsel, and varied brokerage firms. ''
