Nokia has much more to lose, they can't expect to do WCDMA without a license from QCOM. Despite the recent GSM hype, GSM is not 3G. nokia was one of the first companies to license with QCOM for IS95(CDMAOne). Why? Years later they complained that the same license covered 3G(it of course didn't)and there was no need for another agreement with QCOM for CDMA2000 and WCDMA. Again, nokia eventually signed the 3g license which they repeatedly said they didn't need! Why? Now many are claiming nokia will just ignore QCOM and continue to produce and sell WCDMA product beyond their legal right to do so! Perhaps someone can explain to me how and why? Answers to the effect that royalty rates are to high, Nokia now has more WCDMA IP than QCOM or QCOM has monopolistic business practices don't fly with the legal opinions that I have secured.
