>>Qualcomm's chip divisions and royalty streams have nothing to do with Paul's miserable performance.>> Investing in a company in which you have no confidence in the CEO is not a good idea, to say the least. If you think a CEO has nothing to do with income streams just look how fast those Nokia streams dried

Re : bad-mouthing Q's bold (?) MediaFLO venture -- as both "engineer" and I have (gently) tried to point out : Since Qualcomm management always knew ("in the back of their mind") that Q essentially had "an ace up their sleeve" (with their ownership of MediaFLO's near-nationwide "footprint" of a valuable "slice" of wireless spectrum) then, they clearly did the right thing pursuing MediaFLO. --------------------- Also -- none of us ("worms" (?)) out here have any idea how many potentially valuable things (both technological / "I.P." and ... "real world" (such as : who is the guy or woman to "go to" at NBC when one really wants something to be done correctly)) Qualcomm learned (and will keep safely "tucked in their back pocket," for possible use later) while on their MediaFLO "adventure." Jon (and "engineer") ("in absentia") .
