NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Microsoft (MSFT) and Qualcomm (QCOM) will form a
joint venture to provide secure and speedy wireless data communications between
large computer networks, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Several big
telecommunications companies, such as Airtouch (ATI) and AT&T (T), are
expected to link up with the joint venture. The Microsoft-Qualcomm venture comes
after Motorola (MOT), Nokia (NOK.a) and Ericsson (ERICY) announced the
formation of Symbian, a company that will develop advanced wireless phones
based on an operating system from Psion (PON-LS), not on Microsoft's Windows
CE system. (The Wall Street Journal)
