From QCOM Shareholders Meeting: 1)Cost per Megabyte of data transmitted for various technologies I-mode apx $23.00 GPRS $0.42 WCDMA $0.07 1X-EV $0.02 2) QCOM is helping various Chinese organizations write their RFP's (Requests for Quotation Proposals) for their upcoming CDMA system Thus we see that QCOM's HDR technology can transmit data at roughly 2 1/2 times thr rate of W-CDMA. This should translate into significant cost advantages any place where 1X-EV competes with W-CDMA. For example, in the US AT&T (if they ever get to GPRS and finally to W-CDMA ) will be operating a relatively inferior system at a huge cost advantage. Further, QCOM's participation in CHINA is at very close the action. QCOM knows a hell of a lot more about what's happening in China than they are willing to disclost. JohnG
