Briefing.com's Walberg Sees Attention Returning To Tech Dow Jones Newswires NEW YORK -- The recent rally for old economy stocks will continue for two or three weeks, but soon attention will return to new economy stocks, said Bob Walberg, chief equity analyst at Briefing.com. "The money is going to return, as we go through earning season next month, back to technology and some of the biotechnology stocks that are exhibiting the real strong top-line growth that is attracting most of the momentum money," said Walberg in a CNBC interview Monday. He thinks investors should try to identify and buy leadership stocks in new economy sectors and hold them for "the next couple of years" - riding out the inevitable dips in a volatile marketplace. Walberg said he likes Ariba Inc. (ARBA), Commerce One Inc. (CMRC), Nokia Corp. (NOK) and Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). BEST WISHES BILL

PrairieComm. 2/29 on CDMA/GSM at CTIA JohnG 2/29/00 - PrairieComm To Develop CDMA/GSM Cell Phone Processor; New IC Will Be First to Combine Two Leading Standards On Single Platform NEW ORLEANS, Feb 29, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PrairieComm Inc. announced today its plans to develop a single-chip baseband processor supporting both the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standards for digital cellular telephony. The new chip will bring together the world's two largest markets for wireless products and technology, allowing digital handsets to function across multiple standards -- and vast geographic regions. "PrairieComm's CDMA/GSM single-chip solution focuses on current demand for multi-mode, second-generation cellular technology while marking an important milestone in the transition to third-generation, or '3G' standards," said Tom Farmer, PrairieComm vice president of worldwide sales. "Tomorrow's cell phone technology is rooted in today's. A proven ability to develop products across the TDMA, CDMA, and GSM standards is a prerequisite to success in 3G." The CDMA/GSM baseband processor will enable cellular handset manufacturers to build a single phone that works worldwide. With a common engineering platform that supports the three dominant second-generation wireless standards, PrairieComm alone can provide a multi-mode solution to handset manufacturers serving a global market. All PrairieComm products, including the CDMA/GSM chip, address the size, power consumption, and cost concerns currently driving handset design. The CDMA/GSM device comes in a chip-scale ball-grid array (BGA) package that helps reduce overall phone size and extend battery life. By combining their expertise in CDMA and GSM technology, PrairieComm delivers a single processor that supports two digital standards at the same price point as competitive devices supporting only one. This expertise also plays an important role as the wireless industry moves toward 3G products and technology. "Wireless industry evolution toward next generation networks started to accumulate notable momentum toward the end of 1999," noted Bryan Prohm, wireless industry analyst with Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Group. "That pace will only accelerate during 2000 as handset vendors and operators alike commercialize a new generation of multi-mode handsets that allow greater subscriber access to once disparate networks around the world." EDITOR'S NOTE: This announcement comes on day two of the Wireless 2000 trade show in New Orleans, produced by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association. PrairieComm is exhibiting at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Booth No. 2423.
