CNBC led with Snyder . . . . TYPICAL! "This is a blow to Qualcomm!" (video statement) But then CNBC countered (only in writing) with Deutsche Banc's Alex Brown who said that Korea can roll out both CDMA2000 and wCDMA. CNBC ended by saying there's been no comment from Qualcomm. Of course! The company never seems to comment anymore. No mention of royalties for Qualcomm regardless whether it's CDMA2000 or wCDMA. My bewilderment is premised on the following: Why does Snyder get all the air play? Is he on staff for CNBC? What amateurs. I'm also wondering whether the situation in Korea might lead to two things-- 1) a closer examination of the realities of wCDMA. Is it all "smoke and mirrors" or not? 2) Will Qualcomm get royalties on wCDMA? Maybe the weekend and respectable journals (Barron's, WSJ, NYTimes) will zero in on the realties while the Korean dust is settling. - john -
