Perhaps you could explain how Siemens will be supplying these UMTS networks to the carriers without a license from Qualcomm? Siemens has now concluded supply agreements for UMTS technology with virtually all major mobile carriers in Europe. Siemens have already successfully verified the functional capability of their UMTS technology for more than 20 mobile carriers in Europe and Asia in a number of test runs. siemens.com

Sentiment on this thread is sick - you're printing new multi-year lows and your barking at the shorts and pounding on anyone that doesn't agree with your to da moon attitude Actually, we're only pounding Dipy for his childish and mean-spirited attitude. Bears with brains and courtesy welcome.

rob: Now we're playing semantics. First you did originally say that Siemens wouldn't be taking out a CDMA license with QCOM because they had decided to bypass 3G, right? With the only support being the three links showing Siemens had an investment in Flarion and the other two startups, right? It was that patently incorrect statement to which I responded - after all, we can't have the "newbies" here being misled by false and unsupportable statements (<g>). OK, granted you didn't use "facts" in your original post on Siemens. But I did post actual "facts" in my response, right? Siemens is marketing and presumably selling a major UMTS/WCDMA product line, right? So they will need a license from QCOM, just like Nokia did, when they start booking those sales, right? Or are you saying that they are just going to give up on 3G, let Nokia et al reap the spoils, and wait ten years for 4G to get off the ground? You are absolutely entitled to you oft stated opinion that 3G will never fly, and that these emerging technologies like Flarion's in which companies like Cisco, Siemens, Compaq, TI and others have equity stakes will sweep the world and send the vast investment in WCDMA/UMTS/3GSM 3G licenses and hardware development in Euroland and elsewhere to the scrap heap. And others, like myself, will absolutely disagree with you, largely because we've seen what it has taken in terms of not only superior technology and constant innovation, but big $$ resources, $$ losses in equity investments and startups, time, patience, perseverance, and an ability to overcome setbacks, roadblocks, politics, patent challenges and what have you, for Qualcomm to reach the point it has today.

BTW Sentiment on this thread is sick - you're printing new multi-year lows and your barking at the shorts and pounding on anyone that doesn't agree with your to da moon attitude I think the latter is happening because of the former. If the stock were making new highs, they could have laughed it all off. Now they can only cry. And hurl invectives. There is one thing they can do that will rid them of the problem -- and that is to sell. But they won't do that because their pig-headed bullishness won't allow it. For some of you, this will undoubtedly end very badly. History will most assuredly repeat itself. I agree. And in some cases at least, I think it will only be a case of getting what they had been asking for.
