Qualcomm is cutting costs any way it can, severely. They are attacking the budget trying to prepare for all of this.
They are also looking abroad, China, India, expanding markets than here I think.

February 4, 2009 at 10:11 AM #341020UCGalParticipantI agree it’s important to San Diego.
Qualcomm, Motorola, Kyocera… Some of the other companies have already cut back or left (nokia comes to mind.)I think the high end users are already into their big data plans. I think the more average users – who use their phones as phones, are turned off by the rates required for the data plans. How many of us have phones that are capable of web or email – but don’t pay the ticket for those features… (Raising my hand as a member of that group.)
The growth of putting cell phones in new subscribers has already happened. My 82 year old mother in law has a cell phone… She was an example of the last bit of growth in new subscribers. Adults who don’t have cell phones now won’t be getting them.
Not a lot of growth potential in the cell phone industry right now.
