>> "The question to ask is why would QCOM ever license Nokia to use its GPRS/EDGE IPR in stand alone GSM handsets when that would just enable GSM to better compete with CDMA / W-CDMA and delay the ultimate migration from GSM to a technology which generates a roylaty for QCOM." <<

Assuming QCOM has IPR applicable to GSM/GPRS/EDGE handsets, it is obligated to license that IPR on FRANDly terms because it agreed to do so as part of its ETSI membership.
