To all - WSJ's story on the new thing : November 10, 1998 Qualcomm, Microsoft Confirm Joint Wireless-Services Venture Dow Jones Newswires REDMOND, Wash. -- Qualcomm Inc. and Microsoft Corp. confirmed they have formed a joint venture company, WirelessKnowledge LLC, to provide secure Internet access to mobile users. Microsoft said the venture, to be based in San Diego, will form strategic partnerships with computing, software and telecommunications companies as well as wireless carriers. Microsoft said initial WirelessKnowledge service offerings will be available on an OEM basis to wireless carriers in early 1999. These services will include data services to maintain messaging, e-mail, calendar, contact list and basic information services through the Internet, plus access to exchange-based corporate networks. Additional features and services will be added over time. The joint venture was originally reported on CNET's News.com site. Microsoft said WirelessKnowledge's services are built on an end-to-end architecture based on industry-standard technologies, including its Windows CE operating system, the Microsoft BackOffice software system and the Microsoft Commercial Internet System. These services will be accessible over all digital wireless wide-area networks, including networks based on code-division multiple access, or CDMA, technology, GSM, TDMA, CDPD and Mobitex. Microsoft said it will work with Qualcomm through WirelessKnowledge to pursue integration of Windows CE into a future Qualcomm application-specific integrated-circuit, or ASIC, chip and a range of voice- and data-enabled wireless devices. The companies will also collaborate to accelerate innovation and adoption of wireless Internet capabilities using existing and developing standards such as XML, HTTP, VoIP and CDMA IS-95A, IS-95B and IS-95C specific standards and Qualcomm's high-data rate CDMA technology.

wireless, Landis said the much of the world's population still lacks basic ''connectivity'' and that wireless infrastructure would likely be the choice to build out their communications systems. Numerous companies positioned to dominate are currently selling at reasonable multiples because of the Asian financial crisis. Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) is well positioned, Landis said, as is P-Com (Nasdaq:PCMS - news) among smaller companies providing wireless subsystemshttp://biz.yahoo.com/bw/981110/informed_i_1.html Here a guy who thinks the Q is undervalued.

Mqurice....Love the slick website.Great logo. The whole thing is unbelievable. Wish I could understand it. I think I'll listen to the call again tomorrow. Suggest those of you who haven't take the time to do so. Even if Jon's not excited I got the impression that those involved were, that these guys were enjoying a mutually respectful partnership, and that they've got BIG plans. .. Money is no problem..looking for more strategic partners...hmmm. This a GREAT DAY. Why don't you guys stop bickering. I think the analysts'll get the idea. Limitex..I hope you said your Goodbyes. No more trips back home. ..Sorry Dave
