But Nokia doesn't own all the GSM IPR. I dunno Dennis. First Union is Mark Roberts and he's no dope. He says: However, with this announcement it seems that Qualcomm has gained royalty free access to the GSM IPR it needs. I see from the NOK thread that carranza2 has a query in to Qualcomm to find out.

<They may have agreements with Ericsson and Motorola but Alcatel and Siemens have yet to cry Uncle, so Spinco is still neccessary.> I respectfully disagree. Q will get a "NOK type" agreement from both Alcatel and Siemens before they will actually sell multi-mode chips. The pressure is on Alcatel and Siemens to get a 3G license from Q, not on QCT to get the little GSM IPR necessary from the two holdouts to produce Multi-mode chips. I agree with Roberts, Spinning QCT is not necessary at this time. Just MHO. Golf
