QCOM = 3 x NOK in market capitalisation being $97 billion versus $32 billion with the trends not in Nokia's favour. 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. Mqurice
