Maurice, So it might be that these batteries are used for other purposes too. Maybe they are being used for the QSEC phones..?? Or maybe batteries for the new Q/G* Sat. Military /Encrypted Phones.. Or maybe QCOM just wants to ship G* phones because they need the revenues for QWS this quarter?? If QCOM had not shipped the 30k or so G* phones last quarter.. (almost all added to the GLP 500 million VF line). QCOM would have probably missed their numbers. (IMO) QWS Q over Q revenues have been going in one direction... DOWN..If you took the G* phones shipments out of these figures.. It would look much worse.. (IMO) QCT/QTL /QWS 338/174/167 ending June 2000 279/167/188 March 2000 352/177/214 December1999 PCSTEL

From the News Corp web site under Worldwide Properties it shows they own Ansett Australia (50%), Ansett New Zealand and Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services (50%). But from my research to day I think they may have sold all of them. Came across these other old news items, don't know if they are worth posting. WR Saudi prince invests $846 million By Reuters Special to CNET News.com November 25, 1997, 5:45 a.m. PT DUBAI--Saudi Arabia's Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal said today that he has acquired 5 percent stakes in Rupert Murdoch's global media group News Corp (NWS) and Internet software group Netscape Communications (NSCP). A statement from the prince's office in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, said he also had bought around 1 percent of U.S. telecommunications group Motorola (MOT). That purchase put the total value of the acquisitions at $846 million. The statement did not say when the purchases were made. It said the prince bought the News Corp stake for $400 million, the Netscape stake for $146 million, and the Motorola stake for $300 million. It said Murdoch called Prince Al-Waleed "and thanked him for this new strategic alliance." The prince, who made his estimated $11 billion fortune by investing in ailing companies and helping them to recover, has an international portfolio that includes stakes in banks,real estate, hotels, broadcasting, computers, and an airline. In the past year, the prince--a nephew of King Fahd--has made a series of investments in international firms as part of a new business trend to diversify from real estate and entertainment. In the past two months, he made some of his first investments in Asia. "Prince Al Waleed has shifted investment gears today with substantial investments, buying telecommunications shares in the world's largest media conglomerate--News Corp; the world's leading online browser--Netscape; and the world's leader in telecommunications equipment manufacturer--Motorola," the statement said. "The deals came as a result of months of close monitoring of the three companies' share prices, coupled with careful consideration of their financial positions and managerial performance," according to the statement. "The prince's decision was also highly influenced by the recent shake-up of international stock markets. His royal highness heavily invested in the market at a time when others feared an imminent crash," the statement said. The prince said in a Time magazine interview published on the Internet that he bought the 5 percent stakes in late October. The article is due to hit newsstands on December 1. "I want to concentrate on communications, technology, entertainment, and news," he was quoted as saying. "This is the future. News Corp is the only truly global news and entertainment company. Netscape is strongly involved with the Internet, Motorola is very global in telephones and satellites. These companies are going to play a crucial role," he said. Other notable technology investments made by the prince include a 5 percent stake in Apple, which he paid $115 million over the course of several weeks on the open market. news.cnet.com RIYADH (November 29, 1998 12:04 p.m. EST nandotimes.com) - Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said Sunday he was trying to "bring points of view closer" between Italy's Mediaset and Rupert Murdoch to form a pan-European broadcasting venture with Germany's Kirch Group. The prince told a news conference in Riyadh that he was "leading negotiations" between Mediaset and Murdoch, head of News Corp. "to bring points of view closer." "We have good business relationships with all the parties and we have been chosen to facilitate" efforts to set up the venture in which the prince would also be a partner. The prince, who has an international portfolio worth billions of dollars, did not give any other details. Mediaset, the broadcasting subsidiary of Silvio Berlusconi's Fininvest, said earlier this month it was continuing talks for the creation of the European television project and might be able to draft an agreement with possible partners by year-end. Other potential partners in the so-called "Traviata" project are Kirch Group, Murdoch and Prince al-Waleed. In 1995, Berlusconi turned down an offer from Murdoch to buy a majority stake in Mediaset after extensive talks. Instead, Berlusconi opted to sell a minority stake to a group of international investors, led by Prince Alwaleed. nando.net
