However Qualcomm says that it isn t worried (http://www.rcrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071201/SUB/71201017/1017/allnews) about the decision and may even benefit (http://www.rcrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071201/SUB/71201006/1015/FREE) from Verizon s move. The company says that they re a major supporter of LTE technology and that they ll work to help Verizon Wireless in the deployment of that technology.
