Let's just suppose ERICY and Europe go nuts and do attempt to put W-CDMA into Europe without QCOM's IPR. QCOM could still use its IPR to compete, if it wished, in the W-CDMA market! While every other company would be bending over sideways to reinvent a wheel so that it isn't obviously round and uses something other than spokes to hold it to the axle, QCOM could take its whole product line, make the useless but trivial changes required by W-CDMA, and blow the shorts off its crippled competitors. And of course it could do all that while aggressively protecting its IPR from infringement by its competitors in Europe. I think QCOM's in the catbird seat on this one.
