"They can always refuse to sign at 10% which in return qcom can request that they remove all qcom IP from WCDMA."

Who exactly holds the patent rights to WCDMA? I ask because it is my understanding that the U.S. patent office takes a dim view of making insignificant changes to a patent protected item and then claiming it's different enough to require another patent. So if WCDMA is really different enough for the GSM crowd not to pay a royalty to the Q it should also be different enough for one of them to own.
