Why Qualcomm ultimately will fail. No technology holds the upper hand. They will all be replaced by a new variation or a totally new one or a plethora of new technologies that will compete for the money on the table. Thus do not put faith in a company whose sole business is selling royalties. It is bad investment. Besides, Irwin is not an university dropout. He is a former university professor. And the guys who run this tech businesses most effectively are dropouts who decide to sotp litening to teachers like Jacobs and go out to dominate their businesses. It was written all over it that QCOM would eventually fail. And I have had a call from TJ while in Bangkok where I told him these conclusions above.

Why one should not depend on other people's patents. TECHNICAL EMBARGO. Ask the Iranians. Why do you think Brazil wants to develop its own technologies to lift pre-salt oil? It takes longer and drains capital from other sectors of the economy. But it will not leave the oil sector vulnerable in the future to technical embargoes. Again look what the technical embargoes did to Iranian oil. By the same token. The Chinese do not want to be vulnerable to technical embargoes by depending on foreign patents. Who invented technical embargoes? You know whom. You don't? Ok. Then look to the acronym COCOM and you will discover.
