"If Lucent is so weak that it needs to merge with Alcatel, if the result of the merger is bad for Qualcomm, and if Ercisson has dropped the ball after buying the infrastructure division, then one heck of a lot of blame needs to go to Qualcomm for partnering with and selling critical assets to companies that don't properly advance the cause." First off, how did McGinn driving LU into the ground turn out to be QCOMs fault? Secondly, I'm sure ERICY promised results from the infrastructure deal, but even if they didn't, Q had to sell the division, as they'd been hemorrhaging money for years and simply couldn't be supported any longer, 'cause' or no 'cause'. However, while I'm not about to blame politicians regardless of the outcome, I am very concerned about a member of the Euro-cartel's doings here. I think the situation with ALA may just be different, as they're not quite so tied to WCDMA, as has been pointed out here... at least I hope not...
