Qualcomm CEO: Wireless Broadband Faces Threats

Qualcomm's CEO thinks that wireless broadband services just now becoming popular will face threats as data becomes ubiquitous, as it knows no bounds. Data, voice, video, GPS and other forms of data are all traveling -- or will travel -- down the same pipe. Paul Jacobs said "wireless technology is moving quickly from initial third-generation data capabilities to becoming a true computer that transmits myriad applications, including GPS location, data, video and voice, using a variety of wireless networks simultaneously. The wireless device, he said, stands to inherit the PC's versatility and capability combined with mobility."
