You guys may want to pick up some Trimble Navigation (TRMB) stock. The president has decided to turn off selective availability (intentional degradation of GPS signals for military security). This will boost the market for GPS IMMENSELY, way beyond what the puny 10% response in TRMB's stock has been.
In particular, it will almost guarantee that cell phones will use GPS as their method of providing 911-emergency location information.

Volts..one more thing...what is bad news for AT&T ultimately must be good news for QCOM...the worse AT&T does, the greater the pressure to upgrade its infrastructure to more productive technologies. Probably good for TERN in the cable realm too.
