Business Week...Interesting article this week...Headline - "Cell Phones: Europe Made The right Call...Its single digital standard gives it the clout to shape the next generation of wireless gear." Says "Europeans have tweaked the technology in a way that will reduce Qualcomm's royalty streams from its patents and make its phones less attractive overseas." The article further states "Europeans may call the shots for the next generation of cell phones, which will be able to cruise the Internet and deliver live video in as little as three years. Qualcomm is crying foul and is asking Washington for help. But now and in the near future, Europe rules the world's radio waves. The outcome is already evident in China, the world's fastest-growing cell-phone market, which increasingly takes its technology cues from Europe"....I have just started looking at QCOM...trading near its 52 week low it looks like a bargain. Any opinions on the Business Week article?
