Uncle Frank: Just a straw in the wind. Looking ahead, Qualcomm has so many possibilities and luck lines out, that the focus on China or Korea, misses what the real future of Qualcomm is. That future is represented by the second letter in Qualcomm - u for ubiquitous.

What Qualcomm offers is ubiquitous access to data. That is the real advantage of wireless. And that is especially so when the data rates exceed DSL, cable modems or other wireline access.

Why be tethered to a line from a wall? Sure if the rate is faster, perhaps, but if the rate is slower, why?

And then wireless among all those appliances and peripherals using Bluetooth which is standard now in Qualcomm chipsets.

HDR is the future for wireless data. And then more 3rd gen.

Well perhaps that is a bit exuberant, but so.....

Fun ahead.

Best.

Just think of all of those corporate executives flying around the world with their laptops who would gladly pay $5 or $10 a minute to be connected to the net!

I hope they aren't employees of companies I invest in.
