"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"

Only if QCOM was actively participating in the applicable standards setting process, which as I understand it, was a process for setting / evolving the GSM standard. As such, it is also my understanding that Qualcomm was not involved and therefore has no obligation to license its IPR. From what I have read, this appears to be the heart of the issue
