DaveMG: You are supposing that Qcom are the only holders of IPR.
So far it has been disproven with the EPO revoking a very broad patent (the concept of CDMA?), because it has been done before (by Motorola).

When I searched for CDMA and WCDMA patent, imagine my surprise to see over 20 companies holding (claiming) IPR (I'm still counting BTW). Makes you think why it is just Qualcomm that is being intransigent.

You are also neglected to mention that Qcom are being taken to court next year (April-ish) with regard to infringing on IS-95 patents. If they lose, then what will that mean?

Now the usual stuff: GSM IPR is still being disputed in courts today and look how successful the roll-out has been.
