How about this idea? If in fact (and I must assume this is true) that we need NOK IP for making WCDMA chips, then we need to find a partner, who already has a license to the NOK IP we are lacking and contract that company to manufacturer WCDMA chips using our IP and the WCDMA IP that our partner has already obtained from NOK. Then we don't have any need for NOP IP for making WCDMA chips. There must be someone out there who would enter into an exclusive contract with QCOM to make WCDMA chips in exchange for a piece of the pie.

Maybe this is not possible or too far fetched to work, but there must be a way to co-op with some other manufacturer to get around the need for the NOK IP used in WCDMA.
