I think it's pretty clear on its face.

Neither party will be forced into arbitration when it comes to alleged infringment of 3G.

Although aribtration is generally considered the shortest line between two points, could this have something to do with "cease and desist", which can only be ordered by a court?

Ed: yes and no
The current arbitration involves only 2G but since the 1999 Nok license does have similiar language with respect to 3G and if Ericy was commited in their 2003 agreement with Idcc to license for 3G in the aftermath of Idcc being successful in getting Nok to pay for 2G(which we hope will happen when the panel announces its decision),then if Nok still refused to pay for 3G, they would have to request a new and totally separate arbitration, which would have very little likelihood of success.
