Hi there, Rick Thanks for you recent PM to me, as well the emotional leadership that you've been displaying lately. Thanks also for punctuating the "nonsense" posts of the day. <ggg>. A nice humorous way to end the evening. As long as people think Jacobs is "nuts" and there is ambiguity related to royalties on wCDMA "vaporware," I guess the stock will continue its difficulties obtaining any upward momentum. Let's hope his forceful interview with Bloomberg gets some press coverage this morning. Maybe the New York Times will put it on the front page on Sunday and the Wall Street Journal will give it serious coverage on Monday. 60 on Monday! Better yet, 60 on Monday? Who would have thought this situation would have occurred in January (200) or, even, in March (160)? What a nightmare! My brother and I have been virtually ruined by the decline. I'm heading to Cuba a week from Monday. Every time I've ever been there the stock has risen in value. Seriously! Good night. - john -

From July/August issue of WORTH magazine. "The Next Investing Craze: 3G wireless" First generation wireless- analog and digital cell-phone service. Second generation- digital PCS phone service from licensees like Sprint. Third generation - all digital service optimized for data as well as voice, enough bandwidth to watch tv , browse the web, send and receive E-mail, and internet services, etc. It talks about license auctions in U.K. and upcoming U.S. in September. Value of some of these licenses, etc. Mentions that cost of the licenses will hurt the finances of the winning bidders due to additional cost of setting up the systems. Says real winners will be the equipment providers, Lucent, Nortel, etc. The last paragraph says " But the big winner might very well be QUALCOMM, which used to make phones but is banking for the future growth on it's W-CDMA and CDMA2000 patents ,which are two of the standards for much of the 3G technology to be used in the U.S. Beyond licensing patents to all comers, Qualcomm also makes chips that are at the heart of 3G phones. With hundreds of millions of chips to be sold in the next decade, the San Diego company is enroute to becoming another Intel." by Robert X. Cringley BEST WISHES BILL
