What would be the earliest this type of action would come into effect. Meaning what's the earliest they can cut Q out. I fully beleive that if a cap is what they want and they are cutting out CDMA from layer1, then I don't think they will be stupid enough to let HSDPA/HUSPA issues unaddressed so that Q could hold them hostage on those patents. This is not a good thing.

This has always been the long-term risk to Qualcomm's IPR demands. OTOH, any implementations of LTE are likely to have HSDPA/HSUPA as one of the modes for a very long time. I wonder how strong Q's IPR position is in both of those.
