If Qcom owns Cinnecom-and Cinnecom is a small test bed for something bigger, what is the big pic??

economist.com

Cinecomm Digital Cinema, a Los Angeles-based
company that is promoting the Hughes-JVC system,
thinks it has an answer to this. It plans to buy the
new projectors and lease them to cinemas on a
per-showing basis, while handling the distribution by
satellite.
Cinecomm (and similar, rival companies)
would then extract distribution fees from the
studios. ...........

They'd still need encoders, right?
Seems like a funny side-line for Qcom unless it wanted the experience for something else. But maybe worldwide movie distribution is a big market?

Any thoughts? Does anyone know the bandwidth of CDMA?

I hear that the still camera ASIC vendors have been asked by the leading GSM vendors to present their technology. To be used in truly secret future projects...Who can take it from here?

Re QCOM

As a result, Irwin said, Qualcomm will concentrate on its CDMA ASIC and
handset businesses, as well as its Eudora e-mail software, and will pursue new
developments in digital cinema, Irwin said. Ericsson, for its part, will make an
aggressive push into base stations and other systems based on Qualcomm's
CDMA2000.

With their stock currency, if they really want to play in digital video they
could come after all of CUBE.

QCOM only went up 54 points today!

Goldman Sachs upgraded Qualcomm to trading buy from market outperform and BT Alex. Brown
went to strong buy from buy and raised its price target on the stock to $200.
