Clint, Does Motorola do any business with JBIL (now JBL)? MOT does very little outsourcing as far as I can remember. It looks like one of JBL's telecommunications customers saw significantly weaker demand for its products. QCOM is doing all of its assembly in-house as far as I know. Harry **************************************** Tuesday June 16, 8:19 pm Eastern Time Jabil Circuit sees flat revs, lower earns ST.

Jabil reported a profit of $0.45 per diluted share on revenues of $309.6 million for the third quarter against $0.38 on $247.6 million.
