What you have to imagine is what things are going to look like after 3G settles down and Q gets a small piece of all the action, enough however to raise the royalty rate from the 200mil /3.00$ per share where we're at today to say 700mil. An then imagine if you can this same company running a profitable and growing manufacturing operation.Just think about that. Then think about what the liklihood is that this scenario could actually become reality. It also might help you understand why Q is the object of so much hostility. Dave

Tero and all, I wondered why those Brazilians do not listen to Tero's informed analysis. They are going to buy Q phones. Hmmmm. Are they that uninformed? Company Press Release SOURCE: QUALCOMM Incorporated QUALCOMM Signs Supply Agreement with TELESP Valued up to $35 Million for Purchase of CDMA Digital Wireless Handsets SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - news) today announced that its Brazilian subsidiary, QUALCOMM do Brasil, signed an agreement with TELESP (Sao Paulo: TLSP), the primary telecommunications public utility concession in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, for QUALCOMM's 800 MHz dual-mode CDMA digital handsets, valued up to $35 million. TELESP will be the first Brazilian carrier to introduce the 800 MHz Q™ phone, which operates in both CDMA digital and analog cellular systems. The phones will be supplied through QUALCOMM do Brasil. ''QUALCOMM's agreement with TELESP represents an exciting step forward for both companies,'' said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, president of QUALCOMM Consumer Products. ''QUALCOMM is committed to the Brazilian marketplace, and the 800 MHz Q phone will provide superior digital service as well as analog capability, allowing TELESP to meet the digital needs of its customers immediately while providing analog service in areas not yet covered by digital service.'' The dual-mode 800 MHz Q phone, which switches automatically between CDMA digital and analog cellular systems, is a sleek, palm-sized folding phone. It features an integrated antenna and provides voice quality similar to that of a landline phone. The 800 MHz Q phone's CDMA digital encoding provides reduced interference with fewer dropped calls as well as enhanced call privacy and security.
