QUALCOMM is a global "provider of wireless technology and services" founded in 1985.[1]

According to its website, "In July 1985, seven industry veterans came together in the den of Dr. Irwin Jacobs’ San Diego home to discuss an idea. Those visionaries—Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi and Harvey White—decided they wanted to build “QUALity COMMunications” and outlined a plan that has evolved into one of the telecommunications industry’s greatest start-up success stories: Qualcomm Incorporated." [2]

QUALCOMM posted revenues of 14.95 billion dollars in 2011. [3]

QUALCOMM is part of the Campaign to Fix the Debt as of February 2013.
