I think the EU and a number of other countries would need to give permission, but I don't think that would be a problem as long as the GSM/3G patents remain available for licensing. Now that Nokia effectively killed all internal OS software development, Microsoft and Nokia aren't competitors anymore, and that is the main reason the EU might object.
