Maurice, Clark, Houston, engineer and Taichi, Your power/bandwidth insights are much appreciated. I feel both enlightened and confused. Thanx. For the TA crowd. Anyone that has followed QCOM over the last few year and has bought and sold short based on stocastics has done well. Once again it is close to a buy area. Be patient and buy below $38. Additionally, should have positive news this fall on success of CDMA. That along with owning a portion of LEAP should move the stock back over $48 once again. And for Ramsey et al, Can Japan Catch the Wave? Fujimori's and others' enthusiasm notwithstanding, bureaucratic wrangling, red tape and misbegotten government plans will inevitably slow the progress toward multimedia success. The question is time: Will the Japanese be willing to endure until the profits start rolling in? Even in the U.S., industry analysts agree that a lot of money will be lost as companies thrash about in an unexplored forest before they find the hoped-for gold. "We may be witnessing a multimedia bubble," says ECCOSYS' Ito. "There is so much hype that a lot of companies are leaping before they look." Yet Japanese industry has always excelled in the catch-up mode, as the U.S. auto industry can readily affirm. The challenge this time is to change Japan in order to nurture an industry as freewheeling as multimedia. While that will be far tougher than making cars ever was, the world has learned that it can be perilous to underestimate Japan. gmd.de Sometimes, it's more enlightening to look back. nf
