Why should Nokia license its IPR before an industry-wide agreement has been reached? Isn't the usual procedure to first reach an agreement on IPR and then start licensing? Of course Qualcomm is free to sign up any company that agrees to.

But if you think this means that every company is then going to agree to the same terms, you're out on a limb. Then you also have to assume that Ericsson is now going to accept the IDC license demands, just because Nokia reached an agreement with IDC. Are you willing to accept that on faith?
