14:08 EDT Wednesday, March 24, 2010
LAS VEGAS, March 24 (Reuters) - The head of Clearwire Corp said he envisions incompatible network technologies WiMax and Long Term Evolution (LTE) eventually converging to form a common standard for high-speed wireless services.
Chief Executive Bill Morrow made the comment when asked during his keynote session at the CTIA show about his company's choice of WiMax, which is expected to have a smaller following among carriers than LTE, which the top two U.S. operators are embracing as a fourth generation wireless technology. Morrow told the annual U.S. wireless show that he had talked with some of the world's top telecom and technology companies about how this could be achieved, citing discussions with China Mobile Ltd <0941.HK>, Vodafone Group Plc and Clearwire investor Intel Corp. The executive said that the industry should focus on the similarities between WiMax and LTE rather than the differences in order to bring the technologies together. "With this overlap, shouldn't we all be thinking how can we bring it together?" he said. The executive said his network could be made to support both WiMax and LTE.
"We're not going to fight a war. We're going to provide our customers just what they want. Our spectrum is designed and built so we can add on LTE should we need to," he said.
Clearwire, which is 56 percent owned by Sprint Nextel Corp , is building a WiMax network and expects to cover 120 million people in the U.S. with the service by the end of this year. The day before, Sprint announced its first phone for the network, which already operates in 27 U.S. markets. Morrow said that the speed at which Clearwire expands the network beyond coverage for 120 million people could depend on the company's success in raising more funding. Late last year it raised enough financing for this year's network expansion. "Our objective is to cover 270 million of the population in the United States with our service," Morrow said.
Bigger rival T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG , said last week that it was talking to Clearwire about a potential joint venture under which T-Mobile, the No. 4 U.S. mobile service, could share Clearwire's wireless airwaves. Besides Sprint and Intel, Clearwire's other investors include Comcast Corp , Time Warner Cable Inc and Google Inc. The biggest U.S. mobile service -- Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc -- is building a network based on LTE and expects to have coverage for 100 million people by year-end. The second-biggest mobile provider here, AT&T Inc , also plans to build an LTE network.

Some of our colleagues have noted that their leadership seems to be to busy living the good life to thrash it out in the trenches. No doubt a ton of quillionaires have been created and there is likely something in connecting those dots.
Qualcomm only succeeds in the areas where others don't follow. That approach appears to dominate their competitive tool bag. And, as FLO and CDMA have demonstrated, even when they win wars, they mostly leave behind a loosing environment due to the driving off of all other comers into safer, frandlier lands. There is a lot they don't seem to get. Some may find them to be their own worst enemy.
I keep hoping they will learn and grow out of their injurious ways but that seems to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
The bets just keep coming ... OmniTracs was $50M, CDMA was $500M, the plethora of dot.bom investments (G*, Vesper, NetZero, Wingcast et al, Inquam) each within the realm of $100M to $200M easily totaled more than a few billion. $500M went into Q Ventures and FLO got another $1B. If you include Flairion, the patents and UWB expenditures, TD-LTE will likely come in close to $5B.
With each iteration, the bets get bigger and bigger. They sure look like an addicted bunch. I wonder where they sit on this chart.
As the cash rolls in, the drain keeps getting swilled. I see margins have been creeping back of late. Maybe the coming round of quillionaire flushing will be different. Then again ...
Same old, same old ... oh well. |

It took all through the 1990s and most of the first decade of the 21st century to catch Nokia, then just a couple of years to double it and now just 4 months to triple it.
Qualcomm should this year rejoin the $100 billion market capitalisation club but is not seeming likely to be in the race to be the first $1 trillion company.
As Nokia loses market share, the 2% royalty rate they enjoy is replaced by companies paying 4% or 5% royalty rate [or even 5.5%] which is much better for Qualcomm's profits. Now we need the same effect on Broadcom.

CDMA is going extremely well in Hong Kong, Korea, Trenton. Yes, people like it very very much.
Yes, China is the biggest CDMA market now.
Everyone is working on CDMA and OFDM [LTE] and thousands of other developments from femtocells to software.
Nextwave Telecom did not bid too much for PCS spectrum and did very well from the auction despite the bankruptcy and Supreme Court/FCC battles.
Notebook computers with built in CDMA are now swamping networks around the world and are a vast cultural shift. iPads, iPhones, HTC Desire, Blackberries, and any number of such devices are selling by the $billion.
Swarms of people have got rich from CDMA and Qualcomm too. Apple is now a $300 billion company thanks to CDMA. There is well over $1 trillion in value in the CDMA realm with LTE technology about to boost that further. Qualcomm's $100 billion has made a lot of people wealthy compared with the original $200 million in 1995.
Meanwhile, the fun has just begun.
Eudora was a great opportunity but unfortunately was not developed well.
Globalstar is now into the launch of the second constellation and might yet develop a good marketing idea and succeed.

>> Qualcomm Stock Hit New High
International Business Times
March 1, 2011
a62a.sl.pt
Shares of Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) touched a new 52-week high of $59.80 on Monday, compared to its previous high of $59.43 on Feb. 18. Qualcomm has a market cap of $94.93 billion and is part of the technology sector and telecommunications industry.
The stock has been rising from $53.98 since Jan. 28. Qualcomm stock closed Monday's regular trading up 0.95 percent at $59.58 with a volume of 13.62 million shares, while in after-hours the stock fell 0.10 percent to $59.52 on the NASDAQ stock market. The stock had traded between $31.63 and $59.80 during the past 52-week.
Qualcomm engages in the development, design, manufacture, and marketing of digital wireless telecommunications products and services. The company pioneered the commercialization of the code-division multiple access (CDMA) technology used in digital wireless communications equipment and satellite ground stations mainly in North America.
Qualcomm has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 27.46, while price/earnings to growth (PEG ratio 5 year expected by Thomson Reuters) of 1.05. In comparison, Nokia Corporation (NYSE: NOK) has a P/E ratio of 12.54 and PEG ratio of 1.78. PEG is a widely used indicator of a stock's potential value. It is favored by many over the price/earnings ratio as it also accounts for growth. Similar to the P/E ratio, a lower PEG means that the stock is more undervalued.
On Feb. 25, Bloomberg reported Qualcomm is betting that cereal boxes, washing machines and children’s books will help drive demand for powerful processors for mobile devices.
Qualcomm said earlier February that it will begin sending samples of more powerful versions of its Snapdragon mobile-phone processors to customers this year. Snapdragon competes with products from Marvell Technology Group Ltd., Nvidia Corp., Texas Instruments Inc. and Intel Corp. in the market for chips that run software in handsets such as Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
On Feb. 16, Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) said it inked a licensing agreement with Qualcomm to license factory-test technology. Qualcomm has granted Agilent a worldwide license to demonstrate and distribute products that are based on Qualcomm's technology for RF factory testing.
"There is a natural synergy from working closely on manufacturing optimization with Qualcomm. With the recent introduction of Agilent's EXT wireless communications test set and leveraging our N7300A-Series chipset automation platform, we are empowering Qualcomm customers with best-in-class manufacturing test solutions earlier in the product and manufacturing cycle," said Joe Depond, GM, Agilent's Mobile Broadband Organization.
On Jan. 26, the company guided its first quarter adjusted earnings of 77 cents to 81 cents a share and revenue of $3.45 billion to $3.75 billion, while Street predicted 68 cents a share on revenue of $3.12 billion. Recently, analysts revised its prediction for the quarter to 80 cents a share on revenue of $3.63 billion.
The San Diego, California-based Qualcomm increased its full year 2011 adjusted earnings outlook to range of $2.91 to $3.05 a share from previous forecast of $2.63 to $2.77 a share. The company raised its 2011 revenue guidance to range of $13.6 billion to $14.2 billion from previous range of $12.4 billion to $13.0 billion. Street predicted earnings of $2.78 a share on revenue of $12.78 billion on Jan. 26. Recently, analysts revised its prediction for the full year to $3.06 a share on revenue of $13.96 billion.

Maurice,
Below is an excerpt from a post in progress in response to one of our mates who posted to me in another forum and who made the somewhat erroneous statement "Such nostalgia, sigh. Ramsey has been gone for longer than he was present,"
>> Perhaps we should nostalgacize for a moment and do a sanity check on the statement you made (above) about Ramsey to see whether your math is in error or your facts are..
Maurice Winn (aka Mquarice, Mq, etc.), seasoned cyberwarrior extraordinair and grand master of the rant, established the 1st CDMA, Qualcomm message board on Silicon Investor in early April 1996, and so far as I'm aware that was the 1st Qualcomm message board established on the Internet and it focused for most of its early going on the initial IS-95 cdmaOne market tests and trials at Airtouch in SoCal, BAM in Trenton NJ. Hutchinson Wampoa in Hong Kong, and STK in Korea.
Maurice's real life friend Ramsey Su who joined SI on January 1 1996 3 months before Mq was (excluding Mq) the 3rd poster to the board and he made his 1st of many posts (excluding those not lost) to it on April 11, 1996, 2 days after Mq established (or actually renamed) the board and about a month before I bumped into it and started looking over the shoulders of its early occupants even though I hadn't yet anted up my modest SI dues or invested in QCOM which I started to track seriously from both a potential investing perspective and a vocational matter in November 1994 after 1st seeing CDMA demonstrated in AT&T Labs in NJ. Ramsey was a regular poster to that board throughout its life cycle which began to draw to a close within a few months of Craig Schilling founding of the QUALCOMM - Coming Into Buy Range SI board in September 1996. Almost 1400 of CDMA, Qualcomm's 1793 posts to date were originated in 1996 while 300 were added in 1997, and 100 since then by a few of us that occasionally keep CDMA, Qualcomm's lights burning with small talk and banter. Ramsey made the 1st of his 1200 posts to Craig's QUALCOMM - Coming Into Buy Range) SI board on November 8, 1996
While 1996 had opened with only a handful of cdmaOne commercial subscribers (virtually all on Hutchinson Wampoa's Hong Kong Network) it closed the year with slightly over 1 million, and although well over 90% of those were on SKT's network in Korea where IS-95 had been successfully commercialized due to an around the clock effort by Qualcomm, Samsung, and SKT (in particular), in the US 360° Communications, AirTouch, then Sprint PCS and finally Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile, had finally commercially launched cdmaOne. Despite this QCOM stock which had opened 1996 at $2.60 (spli adjusted)) closed the year at $2.49, down from its '96 open of $2.60 and Qualcomm message boards still were relatively sparsely populated.
In 1998 14,000 posts were added to SI's primary Qualcomm board by an increased number of posters as the ITU became increasingly serious about selecting a sanctioned 3G IMT-2000 radio access network technology with Qualcomm (and newly formed 3GPP2's) CDMA for FDD spectrum and ETSI's and 3GPP's competing W-CDMA FDD technology being the leading candidates. What Ken Woo of ATT late in the year dubbed the "Virtual Holy War" was being acted out in the background and the principle protagonists were Ericsson and Qualcomm who had been litigating over IPR for several years. A significant event took place on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor day, December 7, 1998. On that day the ITU warned that "CDMA-based RTT proposals for IMT-2000 could be excluded from further consideration if an IPR stalemate [was] not resolved by the year end." and that if it wasn't they would "only consider RTT technologies for IMT-2000 based on TDMA technology" ...
itu.int
In that year QCOM had traded as high as $4.50 and closed at $3,16 [up $0.67, +27% YoY]. In anticipation of an Ericsson/Qualcomm settlement QCOM rose steadily in Q1 1999. They settled on March 25 ...
latam.qualcomm.com
The prior evening QCOM closed at $5.45 (+73% CYTD] and it closed March at $7.77 (+146% CYTD]. The Ericsson accord -- branded as 'Ericsson's capitulation' by dedicated cyberwarrirs -- was the defining event that attracted a flood of new QCOM investors and a new breed of posters, many of whom had little regard for netiquette, to SI's Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM) board and others that had been founded more recently on Yahoo, Raging Bull, and TMF (initiated in April 1999) Regardless of persuasion we all caught a big bluebird on Wednesday December 29 of that year when Walter Piecyk, then with Paine Webber placed a $1,000 price target on QCOM ...
Qualcomm Climbs by $30 Billion After Comments: The developer of mobile telephone technology saw its value rise by more than 30 percent, or $30 billion, Wednesday after a bullish analyst report said the meteoric stock could hit $1,000 a share next year. The San Diego-based company's stock soared $156 to $659 a share after the comments by brokerage firm PaineWebber re-stoked the raging investment fire that has made Qualcomm one of the Nasdaq's best-performing stocks of 1999. The surge continued in the after-hours market, with Qualcomm trading around $700. The rise followed weeks of double-digit daily gains that have added tens of billions of dollars to Qualcomm's market capitalization, which now stands at nearly $128 billion, more than new economy darling Yahoo! Inc.'s $119 billion. [AOL News]
On Tuesday 12/28/99 QCOM opened at [SA] $65.97, dipped to $58.75, and closed at $62.88. Walter P's bluebird hit the next day propelling QCOM to a Wednesday closing high of $82.38 on 117,999,200 shares traded. traded as high as $$2.52 on Thursday on 128,995,200 shares traded, closing the year Friday at $88.06 on 72,674,200 shares with the Nasdaq CI closing the year at 4069. QCOM opened Y2K on 1/3/2000 at $99.63 and shortly after briefly hit $100, closing at 89.66 on 91,350,400 shares before its skid began the next day,
SI's QUALCOMM - Coming Into Buy Range (now Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM) board accumulated almost 40,000 new posts in '99 from longs, shorts, in between, and outright whackadoodles.. Chit-chat and food fights (the most celebrated of which featured Mq v, the mixed gender day-traders and which also resulted in his temporary suspension from SI -- as opposed to civil but heated debate often became the order of the day and wading through the all too many posts that added little or nothing to an individual's mobile wireless knowledge base had become an onerous task and a time waster.
For the benefit of those of us that continued to retain a long view of Qualcomm and QCOM, Herr Su founded SI's The New Qualcomm - a S&P500 Company board on May 21, 1999 with "a few simple rules" (No Cheerleading, No Stock Quotes, No Off Topic Posts, and No Discussion/Disclosure Of Personal Holdings). After SI created the option of creating (or converting established boards to) moderated boards we decided to keep the board unmoderated, but as new posters with little respect for all or some of the established rules wandered on to the board in mid-2000 Ramsey established SI's Qualcomm Moderated Thread whose title added please read rules before posting. The header noted: "This is a discussion forum, not a chat room. This forum will be moderated by a panel" and it added three new rules: Use Private Message for All "Thank You for Good Posts" And Messages of No Common Interest; Please Use Discretion In Linking Or Copying Articles That May Have Marginal Correlation to QCOM; and Please Ignore Rather Than Debate IQ-Challenged Posters).
A few weeks later in Ramsey's original Qualcomm 'rules' boards post 13526, Eric Jhonsa, now a TMF writer quipped ...
"And so this once-great board fades into oblivion, put to an end by the discontinuous innovation known as Ramsey Su's Moderated Qualcomm Thread. It closes not with a bang, but..." .
To which John Goren replied:
"The board was killed by too many stupid posts. Will the last one out please close the door.".
As will happen, and while for some time most posters to the new Rules board observed the new protocol, gradually many migrated over from Craig's old board and some were less diligent in observance of them. In addition others who had initially posted in other forums elsewhere were attracted, and some apparently never bothered to read Ramsey's Rules of Order. The cumulative post count at 2000 end was 5848, 17696, 2001, 30591 in 2002, 38672 in 2003, and 43955 in 2004. Ramsey himself had gotten somewhat tired of cat herding and lost interest in QCOM but he continued to post on his own board well into 2004. More frequently he began to post on Real Estate boards.
Ramsey made his last visit to the 2nd board he founded on SI on 04-30-09, but in October 2008 he made the following post {his 1st since October 2007) on it:
Hello all, greetings from Methoni. I got the following message from "Dave".[Are you moderating here? If not, let's get someone to replace you. Way too much political noise there.]. I nominate slacker as the replacement. Ramsey
A week later he reappeared and posted to Slacker:
OK, it is official then. My powers as thread Nazi have been stripped. I wish you all the best. It seems decades ago that we had one of those shareholders lunches.Thank you slacker for taking over. Just a word of advice, when in doubt, just ban Maurice and Koplik. :-). Ramsey
Craig's old unmoderated QUALCOMM - Coming Into Buy Range board still served a valuable purpose. It was a place for many who observed all or at least some of Ramsey's Rules to post in a manner and fashion outside the protocols of the Moderated board, and some of its old constituents also posted there as an alternative. On 07/16/2006 with its cumulative post count standing at 143,591 Quincy (a regular Qualcomm poster from the early SI days) commenced moderation noting:
This subject is now moderated for the sole purpose of preventing a long stream of jibberish with no educational purpose to the discussion at hand.
For all practical purposes that sounded the death knell for the board although some 8,000 posts were subsequently made there in the almost 5 subsequent years. In the last 15 months, however, it attracted only 8 posts.
One Qualcomm board of some consequence has been added since. In July 2007 'manalagi' (Paul) founded The New QUALCOMM - Coming Into Buy Range board "a fun gathering place for people investing in Qualcomm" and home of the annual Toaster contest. While it is moderated its rules are somewhat the antithesis of Ramsey's as more recently slightly modified by Slacker: Cheerleading is OK; Stock quote is fine; Discussion of short term price movement is all right; Off topics posts are on topics; Discussion/disclosure of personal holdings if you wish. Paul does add one important rule: No flaming, No personal attack, no foul language, no spam.
For the ultimate in unmoderation and only loosely connected to Qualcomm there is. of course, your The New Qualcomm - write what you like thread founded way back on 9/7/1999 ...
Subject 30581
That was an exhausting stroll, but almost as much fun as doing it in real life to the Diamond's rendition back in 1957.
One final note. In late 1998 I folded my long standing NOK position accumulated on dips since its '94 US IPO on NYSE and appreciated 300+% to establish my initial QCOM position. Although I was an SI member for several years prior I never posted on Qualcomm boards while I was still a foot soldier in the mobile wireless industry because of numerous NDAs my company was party to several of which I had originated including those at BAM, NYNEX, BAM-NYNEX, Omnipoint, and Sprint PCS. My 1st posts were made to Craig's boards in early '99 and you were the 1st individual to welcome me by PM shortly afterward. Thank you.
Cheers,

Hello Brad. Where did the old thread go? Have the early days died? There was lots of lovely archival information here. Do we need to keep threads alive or they vanish without trace? This was from a couple of years ago. If you try the url below, it doesn't work.

All subjects get archived. Because of a miscalculated overlap, there was a few hour period in which the old CDMA subject disappeared.
It's fixed now...
You can jump to the subject from here if you type /Subject-2604 after /investor on the line at the top of your browser. (so it looks like

Yes, the Moonies were annoying and SI was never particularly good at ditching the actual miscreants, resulting in me being banned for a while.
Meanwhile, when 1 million CDMA subscribers was achieved, it did seem pretty good, but look at it now with numbers in the billions cerfing around Cyberspace with many if not most using CDMA in various flavours. OFDM is now coming on stream [after initially frightening the Siers until Flarion was bought].
And the fun has just begun.
Because of the high and badly managed data charges, few people use mobile cyberspace and the devices are only now being produced en masse in a form suitable for regular humans. But there is still no good way to view them in daylight. Mirasol should start fixing that problem as well as battery life next year.
By the beginning of 2013, life in mobile Cyberspace should really be underway. We are still in the early stages of the biggest revolution humans have ever embarked on. Bigger really than biological history since the invention of DNA, but some people would think I'm exaggerating.
