Wireless companies subsidizing handsets is not a distortion of free market competition. Is is an independent act of market competition. In Korea, this practice has been so successful that SK Telecom achieved monopoly status - the ultimate goal of greed and avarice. Now, their government is intervening to keep thier market share below 50%. I will share one thing that bothers me about phone subsidies though. I cannot figure out how cell phone companies have been talking about declining ASP's for the past sveral years when the replacement cost of a cell phone is basically the same ($350). Simply stated, the discussion of declining ASP's is not consistent with the price that cell phone companies say it costs them to replace a phone.

Tero - Off Topic Cellpoint (CLPT) Management continues to reinterate firm contracts will be inked by the end of the year, but so far nothing of significance. With DoCoMo setting up their own navagational services firm, and other private location specific companies sprouting routinely, red flags are coming into view. Do you have an opinion on Cellpoint? TIA, Ron

Looks like QCOM might get some help from the Korean government again...if there is no real market demand for your product, it's always nice of the carriers to step in and artificially raise demand again. That's a real secure business plan! 12:08 ET QUALCOMM (QCOM) 60 1/2 -1 7/16 (-2.3%) : Lifted 3.5% off morning low by talk that Korea will lift ban on handset subsidies....volume 7.3 mln; intraday range 58 3/8 to 62.
