So NOK files the ITC complaint, and gets a hearing sometime in mid 2008, while Q is stuck waiting for the option to extend to expire before filing its own ITC complaints?

I would assume that Q is going to file for a stay in the ITC case based on the arbitration. I have no idea if the stay will be granted.

If two cdma/wcdma cases --- one from NOK filed now, and one from Q filed in fall 2008 --- are before the ITC late next year, the ITC judgment will look for a global resolution taking all the claims into account.

I very much doubt that this will be the case....even if you forget the problem of timing, the ITC doesnt seem to combine cases. Samsung and Ericsson brought suit against each other before the ITC last year and as far as I could tell the cases remained separate (and the timing gap was substantially smaller).

My bet is that QCOM waits until Nokia fails to pay in the September quarter and then claims that Nokia has breached the agreement, in which case the option to renew is no longer valid. That in turn will open the door for QCOM to also bring an ITC claim against Nokia.
