...bad blood between idcc and q. Most of the bad blood, however, is on their side imo.
While at the
special shareholder's meeting to vote on the 4 for 1 split I was one of a group of people
that hung
around and asked Dr. J a few additional questions. One that was particularly interesting
had to do
with idcc, their patent portfolio, and if q was interested in acquiring idc (as they were
known at the
time). His response..."idc has nothing that we need or want that would make them an
attractive
acquisition for us." Some other interesting notes from that conversation...
*Dr. J and his company Linkabit worked with idc on tdma and cdma, obviously before
qcom.
*During the patent infingement suit and countersuit qcom files were found in idc file
cabinets.
*There are no worries about essential cdma patents expiring as new essential patents are
continuously added.

I have to say that Dr. Jacobs is a humble man and if he or his company says something is
going to
happen it probably already has or is well on its way to happening. So much better than
this crap from
others in this sector. Competition indeed.

From today's WSJ (A21) on the Chinese refusal to use CDMA in their second generation networks (and that company you dream about when you close your eyes to sleep every night):

"This takes Qualcomm out of the game for the next few years, and that's a long time to be out of the game," says Mark Cabi, a telecommunications analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston. "The perception for the company's growth is now gone," he says.

Dream on, loverboy, dream on.
