    • Abstract:
      The article reports that Qualcomm Inc. has evolved into San Diego's most well-known and arguably its most-respected company is a credit to its founder, Irwin Jacobs. After finally shaking off the doldrums that struck so many telecom firms during the tech wreck of the past four years, Qualcomm now looks ahead as San Diego's home-grown telecommunications giant literally steps into its next generation. Irwin Jacobs' resignation last week as Qualcomm's CEO was more a ceremonial passing of the torch to his son, Paul Jacob's, who joined the company in 1990 and has served as a division president since 2001.
