It also may not auger well for telephone installers.

ElM, Qualcomm is doing very well, like Zenbu. Profits are booming, sales continue apace. Nokia is on the way down as the cyberphone era begins and the GSM cartel of slimeball hagfish is defeated by iPhones, Crackberries, Titans, and hordes of other devices including mega millions of netbooks and other devices powered by Gobi, Snapdragon, Android. The mobile cyberspace revolution has arrived. Good riddance to Nokia. If they are bankrupt next year, that would suit me just fine. That would be a fitting outcome to their denial of CDMA, attempted swindling of intellectual property and cartel ring-fencing of Europe with GSM. In NZ$, my grocery accounting money, I am up over last year. Dividends will be increased again in a couple of weeks. If you study cyberphone sales rather than GSM/GPRS/EDGE sales, you'll see sales are booming and they are high value cyberphones, not elcheapo obsolete low functionality GSM based devices. Every decline in sales of GSM/GPRS/EDGE is a GOOD thing for QCOM. Meanwhile, Brazil continues to pour cash into the QCOM coffers too. Now get back to work and help Brazil pay those bills. Globalstar is currently covering the whole of Brazil with CDMA from space, giving total coverage [albeit intermittent because the constellation is largely dead]. But a new constellation is due for launching this year, which will get things going again in a big way, with improved technology and huge profit opportunities. People can buy SPOT position location and reporting devices so that when lost in the hinterlands, they can be found easily. That's a great new Globalstar service which is saving lives and making life much easier and more fun. People will cut back their overseas holidays, their expensive wine, their meals out, their new SUV, their gas guzzling tour to nowhere, but they will buy a CDMA/OFDM powered mobile cyberspace device. Communication is the number one human attribute. There is a reason they are called Crackberries. Watch young people texting flat out as though their lives depend on it. They do! In New Zealand, people need the Zenbu position location, directory, search and mapping app for the iPhone so they can find anything. Check it out zenbu.co.nz and Wi-Fi here zenbu.net.nz Note the very cool Street View function which was immediately built in. You can take a virtual tour around NZ, having a look at motels, views, businesses, clicking onto their websites. While you hope things are going badly for me, they are going very well. Admittedly the house is not, but it's still a house and we decided a year and two ago to simply accept a halving and more of its price, and if somebody left a note in the letter box saying it's only worth a dollar, it wouldn't matter coz it's still a house, keeping the rain off, handy for sitting in having cups of tea, watching tv, sleeping and having people to stay. Come to think of it, I should be getting a reduction in rates based on the reduced valuation. Recessions are excellent! The streets are not so congested, cafe seating is available even at peak times, tradesmen are available any time, car mechanics are more interested in getting a job and at lower prices. Made in China is cheaper now that the USA isn't pushing up prices. Holidays in Honolulu and Frejus should be less crowded and cheaper. Even petrol is much cheaper. Mqurice
