straight life, Mike; doesn't this also mean Q/Spinco has now acquired one extremely powerful competitor in the CDMA chip biz? Companies today need to accept that they live in an environment of co-opetition (coexisting cooperation and competition). TI's reputation and resources as a manufacturer brings a lot to the party. The agreement inherently makes TI a partner of Spinco. It's not unusual that partners on one level compete with each other on another level because that sort of relationship inures to the benefit of both parties. --Mike Buckley
