What if the GSM IPR holders decide that SpinCo's "essential/necessary/useful CDMA IPR " are insufficient to buy entry into the patent pool?

It is QCOM management's position that QCOM as a whole holds a vast number of essential patents. So many, in fact, that some can be transferred to SpinCo. Both companies would hold essential patents. Essential means without a license from both QCOM parent and SpinCo, there is no W-CDMA. That should be sufficient to get them into the patent pool.
