More than 13 million handsets in the market.
市場上有超過 1300 萬支手機。
More than 50 million downloads worldwide.
全球下載量超過 5000 萬次。
More than 90 commercial BREW handset models from 19 commercial device manufacturers.
來自 19 家商業設備製造商的 90 多種商業 BREW 手機型號。
Hand commercial operators experience an average attach rate of nearly 50%.
手工商業經營者的平均附加率接近 50%。
This means that half of all consumers with a BREW enabled handset have interacted with the BREW system.
這意味著擁有支援 BREW 的手機的消費者中有一半已經與 BREW 系統互動。
On the operator side success stories continue.
在營運商方面,成功的故事還在繼續。
Reliance, Telephone, Telephonica, Bell South Panama, Metro PCS, Western Wireless and APBW have all announced their intent to launch BREW services.
Reliance、Telephone、Telephonica、Bell South Panan、Metro PCS、Western Wireless 和 APBW 都已宣布打算推出 BREW 服務。

在美國,Verizon Wireless 宣布基於 Get It Now BREW 的可下載鈴聲、遊戲和獨家內容每月下載量成長至 400 萬次。
2003 has been the year when wireless data truly became a reality.
2003 年是無線資料真正成為現實的一年。
The first incarnation of the wireless Internet was WAP.
無線網際網路的第一個形式是 WAP。
The inclusion of a WAP browser in handsets was a good thing got the industry focused on data.
手機包含 WAP 瀏覽器是一件好事,讓業界開始關注數據。
The problem was consumers found it cumbersome and were therefore unenthusiastic and hesitant to use the technology.
問題是消費者覺得它很麻煩,因此對使用該技術不熱情且猶豫不決。
The other issue was that the parties involved made money primarily from the wireless operators, and unfortunately those operators didn't make money due to a lack of consumer uptake.
另一個問題是,相關各方主要從無線營運商賺錢,不幸的是,這些營運商由於缺乏消費者的認可而沒有賺錢。
BREW is a success because it is a superior technology which enables services that consumers are willing to pay for.
BREW 之所以成功,是因為它是一項卓越的技術,能夠提供消費者願意付費的服務。
It focuses the parties involved in the value chain for wireless application distribution on making money from end users, not each other.

Further, the simplicity of BREW enables those operators and their device partners have selected it a time to market advantage over their competitors.
此外,BREW 的簡單性使那些選擇它的營運商及其設備合作夥伴能夠比其競爭對手獲得上市時間優勢。
For the longest time the industry was focused on finding "the" killer application and I don't think any single entity should or eastern could attempt to make the decision.
長期以來,該行業一直專注於尋找“殺手級”應用程序,我認為任何單一實體都不應或東方可以嘗試做出決定。
Rather, BREW has proven that if you provide an environment that is easy for developers, device manufacturers, wireless operators, and most importantly consumers to understand and to take advantage, the killer application is choice.
相反,BREW 已經證明,如果您提供一個易於開發人員、設備製造商、無線運營商以及最重要的消費者理解和利用的環境,那麼殺手級應用程式就是選擇。
The ability for consumers to choose their applications in an open marketplace is indeed the way that many killer applications will emerge.
消費者在開放市場中選擇應用程式的能力確實是許多殺手級應用程式出現的方式。
I would like to share some quotes from key developers and what they've experienced using the BREW system.
我想分享一些主要開發人員的名言以及他們使用 BREW 系統的經驗。
Mitch Lasky, chief executive officer of GEN NET MOBILE, is quoted as saying, "Since the launch of BREW, we've had 4.4 million game downloads to the very substantial number.
GEN NET MOBILE 執行長 Mitch Lasky 表示:「自 BREW 推出以來,我們的遊戲下載量已達到 440 萬次,這是一個非常可觀的數字。

它使我們能夠創建可行的業務。」12% 的付費下載是 [聽不清楚] 我們實際上有 10 個付費下載的應用程序,每個應用程式的收入超過 250,000 美元。
Another example is from Nick Walker of STEREX. "In terms of success rates, the ability to get an application to a user is better with BREW.
另一個例子來自 STEREX 的 Nick Walker。 「就成功率而言,使用 BREW 向用戶提供應用程式的能力更好。
There is no doubt .
毫無疑問 。
In terms of takeup rates, we're seeing the signs that over the coming months, our commercial success will be better with BREW than with other platforms."
就使用率而言,我們看到有跡象表明,在未來幾個月中,我們使用 BREW 取得的商業成功將比其他平台更好。”
As you can see from these statements, the developers are very enthusiastic and most importantly they are making money by taking advantage of the BREW system.
從這些陳述中可以看出,開發人員非常熱情,最重要的是他們正在利用 BREW 系統賺錢。
The vision QUALCOMM had of a global market marketplace for applications is becoming a reality.
高通公司關於全球應用市場的願景正在成為現實。
We now have developers from South Korea selling applications in the U.S., U.S. based developers selling applications in Brazil, and even European developers selling applications throughout the world.
現在,我們有韓國的開發者在美國銷售應用程序,美國的開發者在巴西銷售應用程序,甚至還有歐洲的開發者在世界各地銷售應用程式。
In Japan, KDDI is expanding the use of the BREW system to serve enterprise customers.

The same benefits BREW has provided the consumer market are applicable to the enterprise market.
BREW 為消費者市場提供的好處同樣適用於企業市場。
The enterprise customer has a growing need to distribute and manage applications on wireless devices.
企業客戶對在無線設備上分發和管理應用程式的需求日益增長。
We are integrating Snaptrack into QIS beginning in fiscal 2004.
我們將從 2004 財年開始將 Snaptrack 整合到 QIS 中。
This will improve efficiency by allowing us to leverage the resources that we developed to support BREW and QChat across another product area.
這將使我們能夠利用我們開發的資源來支援另一個產品領域的 BREW 和 QChat,從而提高效率。
Even more importantly, it positions us to take advantage of the emerging position location market by insuring that applications are available to the ever increasing number of wireless operators employing GPS 1.
更重要的是,它使我們能夠確保應用程式可供越來越多的使用 GPS 1 的無線營運商使用,從而充分利用新興的定位市場。

For fiscal 2004 we anticipate that R&D and SG&A expenses combined will increase approximately 18 to 20% year-over-year due primarily to new product development for the expanding market for CDMA 2000 and WCDMA multi-mode, multi-band and multi-network products and services.
我們預計2004 財年的研發和銷售、一般行政費用合計將同比增長約18% 至20%,這主要是由於針對CDMA 2000 和WCDMA 多模、多頻段和多網絡產品不斷擴大的市場而進行的新產品開發和服務。

Obviously one of the uptakes this year is Nokia has the CDMA phone out in the U.S. and seems to be doing well and do you have any estimate on the expansion of your market share in the U.S. for CDMA that is incremental phones you might be selling now because you have more low end phones available than you had been previously?
顯然,今年的亮點之一是諾基亞在美國推出了 CDMA 手機,而且似乎表現不錯,您對 CDMA 在美國市場份額的擴張(您現在可能正在銷售的增量手機)有什麼估計嗎?因為你們有比以前更多的低階手機?

A thing we would absolutely say yes, we would also say that the Nokia is just one of many players in that segment of the market.
我們絕對會說是的,我們也會說諾基亞只是該市場領域的眾多參與者之一。
And we would say that it is probably a more important factor in other markets outside of the U.S. rather than the U.S.
我們會說,這可能是美國以外其他市場比美國更重要的因素。
But if you take it on the global basis particularly in developing markets like India and Latin America definitely the available of lower priced handset is driving the market in those places.
但如果你把它放在全球範圍內,特別是在印度和拉丁美洲等發展中市場,毫無疑問,低價手機的出現正在推動這些地方的市場。

Well, as a result of growth in the emerging marketplaces that Tony was talking about driven by China India and Latin America we certainly see a higher growth in the lower end chip sets and we is have addressed that marketplace with MSM 6000, 6025 and 6050 and all of those are zip products and enable a cost effective solution for our customer.s Additional any in higher end 6100 and 6500 in the CDMA 2000 and 6250 and 6200 in UMTS offer higher feature sets and higher ASP product to the marketplace to enable much higher data rates for the end device.
好吧,由於托尼談到的由中國、印度和拉丁美洲推動的新興市場的增長,我們當然會看到低端晶片組的更高增長,我們已經通過MSM 6000、6025 和6050 滿足了該市場的需求,所有這些都是zip 產品,可為我們的客戶提供具有成本效益的解決方案。CDMA 2000 中的高端6100 和6500 以及UMTS 中的6250 和6200 的其他產品向市場提供更高的功能集和更高的ASP 產品,以實現更高的效能終端設備的資料速率。
The mix of the devices varies from quarter to quarter and typically we have not provided a guidance on that.
設備的組合因季度而異,通常我們不會提供相關指導。
We -- see -- we believe that the as a result of this and the tax rate which increases as this takes greater percentage of our market share we will see a very flat to slight decline in our ASP next year.

All right, Brian, Bill Keitel.
好吧,布萊恩,比爾凱特爾。
I'll take a -- stab at that.
我會對此進行嘗試。
Market share by region what was accelerating and what we were expecting to accelerate in the fourth quarter what Q3 notice in the June quarter was that new phone shipments being recorded going to India and China dropped off quite substantially.
按地區劃分的市場份額正在加速,我們預計第四季度將加速,第三季注意到,印度和中國的新手機出貨量大幅下降。
So, one reason behind the 7% ASP decline indicated is built in our estimate for the September quarter is because we expect the India and China to accelerate quite significantly in September.
因此,我們對 9 月季度的預測顯示平均售價下降 7% 背後的原因之一是我們預計印度和中國在 9 月將大幅成長。
But I would add that with the strengths that a number of North American CDMA operators are showing that we expect that market to increase as well.
但我想補充一點,隨著一些北美 CDMA 營運商所展現的實力,我們預計該市場也會成長。
And so on -- so it is a bit mixed as to what market we're seeing the visibility on.

Well of course China had its problems with SARS earlier and also the introduction of the CDMA 2000 1x network and things are going ahead rather well China right now.
當然,中國早些時候也遇到了 SARS 的問題,並且引入了 CDMA 2000 1x 網絡,現在中國的情況進展得相當順利。
But in two other areas in China Unicom the case of 450 currently has been pretty much stopped other than in Tibet by the government.
但在中國聯通的另外兩個地區,除西藏以外,450 的案件目前已基本被政府制止。
And the decisions on WCDMA or CDMA 2000, that is or TDS CDMA that is the 3G decision at 2.1 gigahertz appears to be postponed sometime into the year or possibly out of even beyond that year.
關於 WCDMA 或 CDMA 2000(即 2.1 GHz 3G 的 TDS CDMA)的決定似乎會推遲到今年的某個時候,甚至可能推遲到當年之後。
And so we have taken some of those numbers out of our estimates looking forward.
因此,我們從我們的未來預測中剔除了其中一些數字。

You touched on some areas having inventory shortages.

I was just wondering with whether you could sort of clarify where you seen that and just get on back to you the notion of the timeline for the licenses in India or kind of -- I'm sorry in China, where do you see it does look like there has been some delay or exceptional delay in the past few weeks and for, Sanjay, I think you talked about the 50% share in WCDMA and it is that a number we should be using?
我只是想知道你是否可以澄清一下你在哪裡看到了這一點,然後給你回複印度許可證的時間表的概念或者某種 - 我很抱歉在中國,你在哪裡看到它確實如此看起來過去幾週出現了一些延遲或異常延遲,Sanjay,我想您談到了WCDMA 的50% 份額,這是我們應該使用的數字嗎?
- Chairman, CEO

One of the problems on inventory shortages actually had to do with a desire to increase the number of entry level handset and there were component shortages, flash memory, other areas, that prevented the totals from getting to the point that were desired in either -- if both India and China so hopefully those get worked through and quantities will in fact meet the requirements but there have been some difficulties on both sides of that.
庫存短缺的問題之一實際上與增加入門級手機數量的願望有關,並且存在組件短缺、閃存和其他領域的問題,這阻礙了總數達到所期望的水平——如果印度和中國都希望這些能夠得到解決,數量實際上會滿足要求,但雙方都遇到了一些困難。

The Op Ex for QCT as I was saying earlier the operating income in our business is driven by three or four fairly important factors.
QCT 的營運支出 正如我之前所說,我們業務的營運收入是由三到四個相當重要的因素所驅動的。
One is the topline growth which is really a function of how many chips we ship.
一是營收成長,其實取決於我們出貨的晶片數量。
The second is the tax rate of RF devices.
二是射頻元件的稅率。
Third is the product mix between low end and high end and fourthly, if the R&D spending that we do and as I think we have indicated a couple of times today, we very deliberately had made a decision to invest heavily in R&D because we believe we have a tremendous growth opportunity going forward in 2004 and as we begin to address greater portion of the marketplace and as data networks get rolled out.
第三是低端和高端之間的產品組合,第四,如果我們所做的研發支出,正如我認為我們今天已經多次表明的那樣,我們非常有意地決定在研發上進行大量投資,因為我們相信我們2004 年,隨著我們開始佔領更大的市場份額以及數據網路的推出,我們將迎來巨大的成長機會。
So, we certainly are moving forward with the very aggressive investment and as a result of that I think we will certainly make some sacrifices in short-term operating income though as I mentioned to you as a result of fairly healthy growth in first quarter next year our operating income will actually go up next quarter.
因此,我們肯定會繼續進行非常積極的投資,因此我認為我們肯定會在短期營業收入方面做出一些犧牲,儘管正如我向您提到的,由於明年第一季度的相當健康的增長下個季度我們的營業收入其實會上升。

I might note that one of our desires is to see the 3G market including the WCDMA market grow marketedly in this coming year and one of the issues in the devices available and early devices have been somewhat power hungry and not great capability partly driven by the fact that many of the functions were on multiple chips and what we are focused very much on is being able to supply the set 3G hand with great capability but without the power consumption and the greater size without the increasing costs and to do that does require heavy R&D and we think that is quite worthwhile and we are continuing to pursue it.
我可能會指出,我們的願望之一是看到3G 市場(包括WCDMA 市場)在來年實現市場成長,而可用設備和早期設備的問題之一是有些耗電且功能不強大,部分原因是這一事實許多功能都在多個晶片上,我們非常關注的是能夠為3G手機提供強大的功能,但不會增加功耗和更大的尺寸,而不會增加成本,而要做到這一點確實需要大量的研發我們認為這是非常值得的,我們將繼續追求它。
On the licenses in China I think probably early in 2003 we were projecting without certainty that they may occur before the end of 2003.
關於中國的許可,我認為可能是在 2003 年初,我們就預測它們可能會在 2003 年底之前發放,但不確定。
With about four or five, six months ago we switched and said it could very well go into the middle of the year and then because of this additional testing many along it began to look that it could be as late and September and right now a bit murky and a little hard to say exactly when it will occur.
大約四、五個、六個月前,我們轉變並說它很可能會進入年中,然後由於這項額外的測試,許多人開始認為它可能會遲到九月,現在有點模糊且有點難以確切地說出它何時會發生。
I might say that on the opposite side of that we didn't think the unified licenses in India would be occuring so quickly and we in fact have not had a chance to really digest that and bake that in the numbers looking forward so we think that that in fact will have a very substantial impact.
我可能會說,另一方面,我們認為印度的統一許可證不會這麼快出現,事實上我們還沒有機會真正消化這一點並將其納入未來的數字中,所以我們認為這實際上會產生非常重大的影響。

I just add the followup to the answer on wide band CDMA that we believe we are extremely well positioned on wide band CDMA with the amount of testing that we have done and amount the traction that we are getting with both customers and carriers around the world.
我只是對寬頻 CDMA 的答案進行補充,我們相信,透過我們所做的大量測試以及我們對全球客戶和營運商的吸引力,我們在寬頻 CDMA 方面處於非常有利的位置。
So going back to the question of 50% market share we certainly think that is a realistic target that we have set for ourselves and -- and we will see how that market plays out.
因此,回到 50% 市場份額的問題,我們當然認為這是我們為自己設定的現實目標,我們將看看該市場的表現如何。

I just want to add, too, to QWI the revenues did increase and the operating margin increased as well, Jeff, so you get -- you got a different mix of businesses in there but actually the operating margin improved in the quarter.

I -- in terms of the -- we certainly have been very successful in meeting the needs of our customers to deliver cost effective solutions in every segment of the marketplace and for them to meet the challenge and the competition and keep the market share so we have enabled our customers to be successful in every single market share with our segmented road map.

As TI competition comes on we believe that on the basis of what they have said to the street that they will come in at the low end when we have spent significant amount of resources and effort in making sure that we have available to our customers very cost effective solution and in 2004 we are planning for as Bill mentioned a marginal decrease in our market share but but that is -- in our view driven more by Nokia than by TI.
隨著 TI 競爭的到來,我們相信,根據他們對市場的說法,當我們花費大量資源和精力來確保我們為客戶提供非常成本的產品時,他們將進入低端市場。2004 年,我們正在計劃,正如比爾所提到的那樣,我們的市場份額會小幅下降,但在我們看來,這更多是由諾基亞而非TI 推動的。

Two quick questions if I could.
如果可以的話,我想問兩個簡單的問題。
Bill could you give tax guidance for fiscal '04 pro forma and GAAP?
Bill,您能否為 04 財年的預估和 GAAP 提供稅務指引?
And then in terms of the increase in operating expenses for fiscal '04 looks to be 180 to $190 million and can you help us and break that down perhaps by QCT the core earned efforts and QIS would this amount include any small acquisitions you might do in the next year?
然後,就 04 財年的營運支出增加而言,預計為 18 至 1.9 億美元,您能否幫助我們並透過 QCT 分解這一數字,核心收入努力和 QIS 是否會包括您可能在下一年?
- CFO
- CFO
Louis, on the tax side the guidance for 2004 is that the core rate would decrease from 33% to 32%.
聖路易斯,在稅收方面,2004 年的指導方針是核心稅率將從 33% 降至 32%。
And for the total QUALCOMM the GAAP rate will reduce from 36 to 35.
高通的 GAAP 比率將從 36 降至 35。
On the operating expense increase guidance the majority of that increase will be R&D and the majority of that R&D will be in QCT.
在營運費用成長指導中,大部分成長將用於研發,其中大部分研發將用於 QCT。
As you are aware, we do put a -- a small but important amount of investment into new businesses that we are looking at.
如您所知,我們確實對我們正在考慮的新業務進行了少量但重要的投資。
And so we will continue that effort as well.
因此,我們也將繼續這項努力。
- President, COO
- President, COO
Of course, most of our focus in the past and going forward is on growing internally and so we do spend quite a bit ourselves on R&D and in growing our own engineering staff as opposed to going out and purchasing other companies.
當然,我們過去和未來的大部分重點是內部成長,因此我們確實在研發和培養自己的工程人員方面投入了大量資金,而不是出去收購其他公司。

And QIS R&D efforts aren't growing substantially.
QIS 的研發工作並沒有大幅成長。
We are spending money on improving our ability to deploy across multiple carriers because we are -- you know like there is, you know, market share or land grant going on in wireless applications delivery and we wanted to make sure that our operators were able to come up more rapidly and so we are investing that as well.

Hi, could you just clarify what is your expectation for ASP for the September quarter?
您好,您能澄清一下您對 9 月季度的 ASP 的預期嗎?
- CFO
- CFO
Sure, Peter.
當然,彼得。
We're expecting the ASP for the September quarter to decline approximately 7%.
我們預計 9 月季度的平均售價將下降約 7%。
So for the June quarter based on the licensee reports it was about approximately $193.
因此,根據被許可人的報告,六月季度的價格約為 193 美元。
So 7% decline for September would bring it down to $179.
因此 9 月下跌 7% 將使其跌至 179 美元。
And that would bring the full fiscal year 2003 to an average of $190 compared to $193 average for fiscal 2002.
這將使 2003 財年的平均成本達到 190 美元,而 2002 財年的平均成本為 193 美元。

I just had a couple of clarifying questions.
我只是有幾個需要澄清的問題。
First of all, could you say if the BREW piece of QWI has broken into operational profitability or even profitability as measured by EBITDA?
首先,您能否說 QWI 的 BREW 部分是否已突破營運獲利能力,甚至以 EBITDA 衡量的獲利能力?
And then secondly, for the December quarter are you fully booked to the 27-28 million chip set number or I guess another way to ask that is do you see the potential for turns business to generate upside much like we saw in the December 2002 quarter?
其次,對於12 月份的季度,您是否已經預訂了27-2800 萬個晶片組數量,或者我想用另一種方式來問這個問題,您是否認為輪換業務有潛力產生上升空間,就像我們在2002 年12 月季度看到的?
Thanks.
謝謝。

We are still in vetting in BREW and we had made the decision to do that because we want wanted to make sure that we could launch the carriers who were signing up more rapidly.
我們仍在對 BREW 進行審查,我們做出這樣做的決定是因為我們希望確保我們能夠更快地推出簽約的營運商。
And so we actually made a conscious decision to do that.
所以我們其實是有意識地決定要這樣做的。
Now, if we look, the revenues continue to grow in that business.
現在,如果我們觀察的話,該業務的收入繼續增長。
And the number of subscribers and their usage of the system continues to grow and that is of course how we make the money off of the system.
訂戶數量及其對系統的使用不斷增長,這當然就是我們從系統中賺錢的方式。
So the trends are all I think moving in the right direction.

In terms of our visibility and our confidence in the guidance of 27-28 million units for the December quarter, we certainly are providing this guidance quite late in the quarter and we believe our visibility this quarter is better than the other three quarters where we provide this guidance a little earlier in the quarter.
就我們的可見性以及我們對 12 月季度 27-2800 萬台指導的信心而言,我們當然會在本季度末提供此指導,並且我們相信本季度的可見性優於我們提供的其他三個季度該指導意見是在本季早些時候發布的。
And in terms of is there a possibility of an upside we -- we think that a guidance of 27-28 is the right guidance to provide you.
就是否存在上漲的可能性而言,我們認為 27-28 的指導是為您提供的正確指導。

In I would like to thank everyone very much for joining us today.
我非常感謝大家今天加入我們。
It was a very positive year from our point of year as far as great growth in revenues and in earnings.
就收入和盈利的大幅增長而言,這是非常積極的一年。
A little bit untypical distribution over the year.
這一年的分佈有點不典型。
We suspect we will be getting back towards a more typical distribution but many interesting things to occur looking forward now into 2004 the growth of with CDMA particularly now starting in Europe and further growth in Japan and the impact of the unified license in India will be very interesting to watch and we think that there is certainly some very positive upsides there.
我們懷疑我們將回到更典型的分佈,但展望2004 年,將會發生許多有趣的事情,CDMA 的增長,特別是現在在歐洲開始,在日本的進一步增長,以及印度統一許可證的影響將是非常大的。觀看起來很有趣,我們認為這肯定有一些非常積極的好處。
The U.S., the introduction of number portability, that is going to itself have some interesting impact on the sale of phones and capabilities, the need to have and support E911 we think will actually be quite beneficial.
美國引入號碼攜帶,這本身就會對手機的銷售和功能產生一些有趣的影響,我們認為擁有和支援 E911 的需求實際上會非常有利。
The introduction now of the multimode phones coming in this coming year, that will take away the strong division between technologies in different parts of the world and improve possibilities for CDMA operators.
現在推出的多模手機將於明年推出,這將消除世界不同地區技術之間的巨大分歧,並提高 CDMA 營運商的可能性。
And the fact that we have so many BREW applications now being very actively used and producing quite good revenues particularly more recently on the video streaming side of the fence, I think that bodes well for all 3G technologies because the applications can be used regardless of the actual air interface.
事實上,我們現在有如此多的BREW 應用程式被非常積極地使用,並產生了相當可觀的收入,特別是最近在視訊串流方面,我認為這對所有3G 技術來說都是一個好兆頭,因為這些應用程式可以在任何情況下使用。實際空中介面。
So, although we are currently watching very closely what the numbers will be going into this coming year, there are certainly a large number of very interesting developments with our heavy R&D we think we are setting a very strong base going forward.
因此,儘管我們目前正在密切關注來年的數據,但我們的大量研發肯定會帶來大量非常有趣的進展,我們認為我們正在為未來奠定一個非常堅實的基礎。
