Making extensive partnerships in the mobile telecommunication industry, with RIMM ATT, APPL, etc, Qualcomm has proven, that it is a leader and a driving force in the future of state-of-the-art technology. Given that telecomm companies are now the second most active dealmakers behind the oil & gas industries, this shows future deals and partnerships that will lead to a successful financial future.
