Jon: One of the fun straws in the wind re the relative importance of China and the Nokia license is that Dr J is in the capital of China today, not Finland. <G> As the details begin to come out, it seems as if as usual Dr J won his license battle with class, no beating of the drums re Nokia, but instead working on the delicate set of relationships in China. Amazing that an ex professor is so practical, no? Vision and technical skills are one thing, and he has those. That Dr J has practicality and management skills is what makes such a potent combination. And he has attracted "the best" around him. Wishing him good health and long life. And let's hope he continues to enjoy hard work and challenges atop the Q. Best. Chaz

Seems like I recall that the Chinese reduced royalties were only on domestic sales and that exports were to be at the standard royalty. QCOM caved on the domestic side I believe because of the size of the potential market. Not much news re India lately, but I still see it as looming large and coming up to speed at about the time China growth may start to decelerate. This would be about the 2005 time frame when 3G in Europe should also start to take hold. Just my 2 cents worth. Happy 4th. Fireworks came a day early. I'll take it.
