Hi Tejek, RE: "Wasn't the wireless move to San Diego as much about QCOM and AMCC being based there as opposed to anything else? After all, QCOM is a big company, generating a lot of critical mass." Not sure who QCOM's investors were, whether it was sand hill or san diego. I actually suspect it was sand hill, because they were probably funded before the sand hill crowd had gotten a bit distracted by eyeballs. Either way, you're right about qcom generating some critical mass down there. Would like to see Intel attack their revenue so as to help bring the flow back up here. I think its pretty much loss. San Diego is a big city that can support the kind of technological infrastructure needed for WiFi. At least CA kept the industry intrastate. Besides, San Jose still has a lot of technological talent....there will be tons of spinoffs from the likes of INTC or AMD. Nonetheless, San Jose could use the growth generated by wireless right now. Your median housing price is in danger of slipping below a million! <g> ted
