Then again... don't you hate it when reality gets in the way of a good bit of FUD?

Dear Shareholder:

On Friday, we issued a statement from Dr. Jacobs regarding the opportunity in China made possible by the positive vote on permanent normal trading status in the U.S House of Representatives last week. You can view that announcement on our web site at www.qualcomm.com. The news articles that make various statements about China Unicom's plans are speculative in nature and most often discuss the China Unicom initial public offering, which involves a subsidiary of China Unicom. Our agreement is with the parent company.

China Unicom currently has a GSM network and they also have 5 Megahertz of spectrum dedicated to CDMA. They are saying that they will commence trials of CDMA, but beyond that have not discussed specific deployment plans or plans for 3G. We continue to believe that the world is going CDMA and that there will be CDMA deployments in China in the near future under our existing framework agreement.

Sincerely Yours,
Julie Cunningham
Sr. Vice President, Investor Relations
QUALCOMM Incorporated

AT&T plans to offer hard-core adult movies - WSJ

NEW YORK, May 31 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. (NYSE:T - news) plans to carry The Hot
Network, a hard-core adult movie channel, in a programming deal that could leave AT&T with a big share of profits from sexually explicit movies, according to the Wall Street Journal.

AT&T's decision to carry the pay-per-view channel comes at a time when the telecommunications company's cable unit is under pressure to show results for the billions of
dollars it has invested to upgrade its networks for new digital fare, according to the article.

It said AT&T has promised to have a minimum of 400,000 cable telephony customers by the end of the year and it
recently passed the 60,000 mark, giving it just six months to make up the balance.

The Wall Street Journal said AT&T confirmed it intends to carry The Hot Network, a channel that many big cable
operators, including Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX - news) and Comcast Corp. (NasdaqNM:CMCSA - news), have
passed on.

``This is about supplying programming that meets the desires of customers, and is competitive in the marketplace in which we find ourselves,'' the paper quoted Madison Bond, programming chief for the Basking Ridge, N.J. company, as saying.

Bond said AT&T has decided to carry The Hot Network only on its digital tier, in keeping with AT&T's new policy of
carrying adult fare in a way that makes it easier for parents to monitor and block out certain channels using digital set-top boxes.
