Yup. Not enough.

This isn't a problem of which standard to deploy. A technical case can be made for having one worldwide standard, even if it is grossly outdated and inefficient.

This is a problem of royalties.

Not technical. Emotional.

Sure Nokia, Siemens, Alcatel, and the like spent hundreds of millions, if not billions of whatever their currency is to develop a standard that extends their GSM monopoly.

They would have saved themselves that fortune if they had just embraced the GSM-signalling version of 1X and went their merry way.

Can you make the case for the EU to punish Qualcomm because they made a bad business decision?

Never underestimate how important credibility is to the European Union as they try to unseat the US as the world economic superpower.

You're beating a dead horse. Congratulations.
