You're so full of it Eric. The fact is that over 140 companies worldwide have licensed QCOM's IP portfolio because they feel that it is worth what they are paying for it. If they did not think so they would not pay for it. The GSM cartel hates QCOM because they have enabled worldwide competition in the wireless business and the Euro-schmucks cans see their old monopoly evaporating due to the worldwide competition, and they don't like it. Their socialist economic system makes them uncompetitive compared to the cheaply made goods coming out of the far east, so the only way to fight back is to try and cripple the company that has enabled their enemy. QCOM supplies the ammunition to the armies that are fighting the Euro-schmucks. The Euro-schmucks are overwhelmed by the vast superiority in numbers of the enabled enemy, so the only way to defeat the enemy is to cut off the supply of ammunition from the enabler, QCOM. You know what Eric, IT AINT GONNA WORK! Nokia and the rest of the Euro-schmucks are toast unless they make peace and get on board the QCOM bandwagon with the rest of the wireless world. The GSM community at large already voted last month at the GSM world conference. They awarded the winner of the 3GSM phone contest to a manufacturer that is going to use QCOM chips. The QCOM snowball is rolling downhill and it is getting bigger and bigger and at the bottom of the hill is Nokia and the Euro-schmucks, and if they don't get out of the way, QCOM is going to squash them and gobble them up.

Simply put just compare what you are left with if you removed Qualcomm IP from WCDMA vs. what you would be left with after removing non-Qualcomm IP from WCDMA: Model-T vs Ferrari. Using patent counting schemes to determine relative merit is anti-realistic and anti-free market.
