Hello Old Chap. While I've not seen OFDM and QUALCOMM mentioned together, QUALCOMM is big in Bluetooth. QUALCOMM was quick to recognize the value of Bluetooth and moved to incorporate the technology in their CDMA wireless world. < QUALCOMM joined the Bluetooth 1.0 SIG in the spring of 1998 as an Early Adopter. In December 1999, Lucent, Microsoft, Motorola and 3Com joined the original founders of Bluetooth as Promoters, and the Bluetooth 1.2 SIG was formed. Today there are more than 2000 Bluetooth 1.2 SIG members worldwide (including the nine original Promoters, Associate Members, Early Adopters and Independents). As an Associate Member, QUALCOMM will receive early access to Bluetooth specifications and will provide input during the ongoing development of the technology. QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies (QCT), QUALCOMM's chipset and system software division, expects to increase involvement by joining Bluetooth's Technical Working Group, Expert Group and Marketing Group.> Notice how QUALCOMM was in Bluetooth by spring 1998, which is a time when CDMA was barely a fledgling with a mere 10 million subscribers. Message 14365674 It took Lucent, Microsoft, Motorola and 3Com nearly another 2 years to realize the importance of Bluetooth. Just as Q! was quick to recognize the importance of IP [Internet Protocol not to mention Intellectual Property] back in 1990 when it was included in CDMA, they were quick to recognize the importance of Bluetooth for local networking. Similarly, I imagine that QUALCOMM is well aware of OFDM developments and will incorporate that technology in their ASICs. Spinco will be the buyer into that technology I suppose, so that they can incorporate it into the recently promulgated 5G standard which will supersede the 4G standard which Ericy and co tried to use to leapfrog 3G. Ha! Ha! Ha! to them!! They were too late. Again. Mqurice PS: We can expect graviton.com to be included in later standards as well as timedomain.com pulsed monocycles for x-ray vision. QUALCOMM customers will be like Superman by 2010, especially if the Graviton Spin Reversal System takes off.
