slacker711, The only reason for Q to delay is to get beyond the option expiration window. When is the expiration date between Nokia and Qcom agreement?

"Qualcomm or Nokia could have brought WCDMA challenges at any time since the expiration of the agreement in April."

I don't see how Qualcomm can bring a WCDMA suit before the Dec '08 option expires. On second thought, legal challenges may be possible after Nokia misses the first royalty payment in the upcoming quarter.

"Instead, Qualcomm has chosen to go the arbitration route. They believe that Nokia has automatically exercized their option to renew the current contract by continuing to ship WCDMA products. Personally, I find this argument absolutely ludicrous...."

Why do you find this argument so ludicrous? Isn't is just as ludicrous to expect that Nokia could continue to use QCOM IPR for free after opting not to renew the license?
