There has been more talk from this board on QCOM "patent ambush" than has come from Nokia. If this were the Nokia position they would be screaming it in their collective PR's and waving the ETSI rule book in everyones face, not the contrary. In addition they would not be pressing for arbitration rather than a court date. Common sense says Nokia believes the patent ambush defense would be a weak strategy to say the least.

If what you say is true, then the issue is what is fair, reasonable and non discriminatory.....?

Let me ask you, is is reasonable for QCOM to license its GPRS/EDGE technology free of charge to Nokia so they can use it in stand alone GSM/GPRS/EDGE handsets in order to prolong the life of GSM to the detriment of CDMA / W-CDMA, for which QCOM recieves a 5% royalty ?

In my view it is definately not reasonable for QCOM to do that.
