Mq, That post is one of your better moments. I wonder if it has anything to do with Qcom finally coming out of buy range and back into momo range (until the next split). Most things come about because they are seen as great innovations. Sometimes that innovation is based upon great invention or in G's case - application of a collection of past innovations (low earth orbit, cdma and simplification of terrestrial interface through the use of bend pipe NOCs) and sometimes innovation (like Starbucks) has nothing to do with invention. G, like the fellow compatriots that you so eloquently listed was abandoned by its founders. That means much more than anything else. Development of invention into innovation is always driven by founders and one has to always consider, on a continual basis, the state of their interest above all else. Qualcomm rode the G* wave until it became obvious to all that the crest of its innovative wave was nothing but hot air. Isn't it just such manipulation of perception that which keeps markets "alive" while they actually flounder? nf ps I still believe Q should of bought G* for pennies on the dollar and used it to deliver their OmniTracs business. Truck don't float on water. A digression ... although, container ships offered a huge market expansion opportunity for OmniTRACS, those opportunities seemed to have just flittered away ... delay in moving in that direction has only allowed RFID to see the market. I'd include rail here with its more defined area of movement and, more importantly, fixed external interface locations as being in the same boat (pun intended). pps Who really knows! G* might well fall back into Q's hands but that isn't going to happen until Thermo has eaten as much cake, both on its face and in its tummy, as expected, for all parties to move on such an arrangement. Drastic change always takes lots and lots and lots of precious time.
