Qualcomm's 2nd CEO -- Paul Jacobs >> Dr. Paul Jacobs, Chairman and CEO, Qualcomm Telecoms.com August 10, 2009 tinyurl.com Having taken over from his father Irwin at the family firm, Paul Jacobs now presides over an intellectual property portfolio that comprises well in excess of 10,000 US patents related to wireless technologies, which are licensed by 165 other companies within the industry. Through the firm’s QCT (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies) arm, meanwhile, he oversees the largest wireless chipset production house in the business. Not an awful lot happens in the wireless industry that doesn’t have a trace of Qualcomm in it somewhere. Even when it is claimed that the Qualcomm fingerprint is absent, the firm’s influence is still apparent. Development of the home-grown Chinese TD-SCDMA standard was motivated by a desire to avoid royalty payments and it may yet turn out to be nothing much more than a costly mistake. Under Jacobs Jr. Qualcomm has managed to bring to a close many of the long-running lawsuits that characterised its past participation in the mobile industry, and has become more widely accepted by a community that was once in large part hostile towards the Californian firm. Close collaboration throughout the organisation with Nokia—once a sworn enemy—is now a stated aim of his tenure, and it has been suggested that a similarly rejuvenated relationship with Broadcom could also be possible. Jacobs will now be keen to maintain the relevance of his IPR portfolio as the industry moves towards LTE; and the company claims to have a substantial number of relevant patents, collected through acquisition as well as R&D. He is also known to be keen to avoid layoffs, despite the downturn, in order to keep R&D functioning at the usual levels. Expect Jacobs to keep the firm directed at its new smartbooks venture, the industry app store bandwagon and healthcare technology, as well as existing projects. ### - Eric -

How about that? The long-time and devoted shill for Nokia and the GSM industry is now an admirer of Paul Jacobs.

Now that Paul Jacobs has given the green light to Ericsson to acquire Nortel's CDMA assets, the question is how soon will CDMA subscribers begin to decline? And when they do, will Paul Jacobs still keep his job? After all, his own father when CEO said in 2000 that CDMA would be the predominant technology of subscribers signed up after the one billion mark, and his handpicked successor is still CEO. I mean, if Paul Jacobs is still CEO after such a gross mistake, it should be no problem for him to stay when CDMA subscribers begin to decline. Maybe CDMA operators should cut their losses now, and get out of CDMA, into GSM. I'm not a proponent of GSM technology, but at least GSM vendors stand by their customers, unlike Qualcomm.

China Unicom has denied purchasing 5 million W-CDMA iPhones. You wouldn't be trying to hype Qualcomm to keep the stock price up, would you?

You wouldn't be trying to bash qcom and post 10 year old information as well as information that is known to be false in an attempt to help your short position or whatever hidden negative agenda you refuse to be honest about? The reason your agenda is hidden is many have asked and you refused to answer......So, you have some agenda you refuse to be honest about and you post false information as well as information from the stone ages, as you bash qcom repeatedly. Seems pretty clear to me what is going on here.....Have a nice day..... <<You wouldn't be trying to hype Qualcomm to keep the stock price up, would you?>>

You refuse to answer other peoples questions but expect them to answer yours? No thanks. Nor do I need to post all the false information you post about QCOM as most people aware of qcom are already aware of what you are doing......Sheez, you are not even aware of the basic stuff here......Total waste of time talking to you so I will stop.....have a nice day and hope that short position bites you on your posterior.....
