Bux - I think if you read the license language provided by ALR in his post siliconinvestor.com it does infer (if not actually state) that NOK is prohibited from selling a 3G phone without a 3G license. Yes, Telson can sell a 3G phone to NOK because Telson has a 3G license. I asked one of QCOM's IR folks the following question when the Telson deal was announced: Can NOK use Telson to get around signing a 3G license with QCOM. The response was No! They said very clearly that NOK cannot sell a 3G phone unless they have a 3G license. If you remember, NOK has made comments that they think that they have sufficient rights already from QCOM to cover 3G. QCOM says no. Maybe there is a lawsuit in the future over this, but I doubt it. Just like NOK saying the Telson deal was for 2G product and now we find out it is for 1X. Maybe NOK wants to call 1X 2G or 2.5G or 2.9999G so they can avoid having to say they are buying 3G product. I will trust what QCOM says until proven otherwise.
