Mike: Communication via this medium is difficult, to say the least. All I was saying is that the "core" of Qualcomm is making CDMA pervasive as the mobile wireless / internet (intranet) nexus. That means that spinning off the chip business is sensible as a management move. And I applaud spinning off Spinco to the shareholders so we keep our ownership undiluted - unlike the earlier "sales" which were for different purposes - but also to advance CDMA broadly. So this is unlike the infrastructure and handsets sales. (which I initially opposed BTW <G> - and I was wrong in that opposition even though in the company of Gregg Powers, as shown "in the event") As I have said, keeping Dr J is important and keeping his focus on CDMA broadly is key too. In that sense, having a separate management structure for Spinco is practical and positive IMO. I intend to keep every Spinco share BTW long term. Best. Chaz/Cha2
