There seems to be a trend! What's fun is that cdmaOne is only hitting its stride now. Then there is the WWeb revenue to come. pdQ just getting going. One day, Globalstar will actually be flying and 6 million subscribers will be paying heaps to Mighty Q bottom line, via royalties, handset sales and minute charges. Yummy, yummy, yummy...

WirelessKnowledge, Wireless Business Solutions, Eudora, ASIC sales with MSM3000 selling by the many million already, cdmaOne, WWeb royalties. This is pig in mud stuff. Even infrastructure might start shining. Handsets in the 10s of millions this year.

The fun has begun.

PS: Sorry Chaz, I've had a dig around in my files but couldn't come up with the shareholdings from way back. I can't recall where I saw it now, but I'm sure AirTouch was a shareholder in 1989. They were Pactel back then.

Taichi, true enough on the pdQ. There have been enough delays on enough things to assume maybe a half year delay or more could crop up. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it is selling by August.

Chaz,

I seem to recall that Airtouch owns or controls through warrants 400,000 Q shares..

Clark..You must be right about the 100 mil. It's rev shortfall. Still represents about 1$/share bottom line, not insignificant but certainly tolerable at this juncture..

So who is this unnamed analyst who states that our nemesis might be considering a buyout?
