No question Nokia will suffer from both there precious legacy GSM rotting away as the new shiny WCDMA canabalizes what is left takeing market share all the while the global leader CDMA will surpass its current 335 million subscribers.When the Ericsson-Qualcomm agreement in 1999 effectively secured CDMA's position in the industry and eliminated the possibility of it being shut out by an ITU decision ,Nokia never got over the reality of this situation.The fact that they could never come up with an effective CDMA chip and to high browed to buy chips from QUALCOMM leaves them with a desperation much like the North Koreans threating to go nuclear unless they get there way.The industry wether it be Euro centric or Americana centric will eventually see throught the crying game.The may be a power in Euroland but Euroland would not exist without USA trade and there could be consequences to unfair trade practice rulings.Bottom line Nokia will pay up and the day it is inked the stock will soar like it is 1999.
