Friday May 26, 1:18 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release QUALCOMM Notes Positive Impact of PNTR Vote on CDMA Development and Adoption SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2000--Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - news), issued the following statement noting the favorable U.S. House of Representatives vote in support of Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) with China. ``QUALCOMM is very pleased by the House vote in favor of PNTR with China and the positive prospects for China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). PNTR approval is key to expanding United States exports to China.'' ``PNTR is particularly beneficial to QUALCOMM, reducing the prior uncertainty of Chinese government support for a major increase in the use of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology by China Unicom and possibly others. China has a rapidly expanding need for voice communications and Internet access, both of which are well met by CDMA now and into the indefinite future. Much of the Chinese expansion can now take advantage of the world's first commercial third-generation technology, 1x Multi-Carrier (1xMC), with its order of magnitude advantage over existing non-CDMA technologies in supporting a large subscriber base per base station. Such efficiency is particularly important in the limited radio spectrum available in China's major cities.'' ``QUALCOMM is now supplying 1xMC third-generation chips and software to licensed CDMA infrastructure and subscriber manufacturers worldwide. The Company expects initial deployments of 1xMC networks to begin before the end of this year, and commercial operations by all cdmaOne(TM) operators worldwide during 2001. QUALCOMM is also working with Chinese manufacturers to position them for early entry into infrastructure and handset manufacture of this most advanced technology.'' ``CDMA systems currently operating in China have been supplied by Korean and U.S. manufacturers. Chinese officials and operators have been closely monitoring the successful performance of the rapidly expanding cdmaOne systems in Korea and Japan as well as the United States. Chinese operators are also interested in trials in Korea and Japan of 1xHDR, which supports up to 2.4 Mbps Internet access, both mobile and fixed, while sharing the same base stations as 1xMC, thus minimizing cost. Other third-generation CDMA systems using wider bandwidths than CDMA 1xMC, such as WCDMA/UMTS, although coming to market later and fully supported by QUALCOMM, do not achieve this performance.'' QUALCOMM Incorporated (www.qualcomm.com) is a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services based on the Company's CDMA digital technology. The Company's business areas include integrated CDMA chipsets and system software; technology licensing; Eudora© email software for Windows© and Macintosh© computing platforms; satellite-based systems including portions of the Globalstar(TM) system and wireless fleet management systems, OmniTRACS© and OmniExpress(TM).

My call: THIS IS THE END OF THE CORRECTION! We might have one crash and burn day either on Tues or Wed, and thereafter the summer bull rally begins. Nice slow and steady gains throughout the summer, and by year end we will be back to our earlier highs. But this correction is history. My reasoning: The APPEARANCE of continued declines is simply overly obvious- inflation fears/FED/earnings season over/fear of lower earnings/anaylsts saying more declines to come/the bear word/Volt&JW turinng bearish. These are all contrarian indicators that points to the bottom-right now.
