<Nokia's Fully Paid Up License for Early QUALCOMM CDMA Patents>

Good detailed response. So now it makes a lot of sense to me why 3G implementation was delayed until 2007. The world had to wait because Nokia did not want to pay royalty to QCOM.

However, looking at the big picture, if Nokia ends up using one of QCOM's patents that is not paid up, then QCOM should be able to charge 6% royalty just like BRCM has been able to charge for a couple of their stupid patents. Otherwise they are more than welcome to work on some workarounds.

Do you agree?

Do we need a Mr. Lee type of a lawyer to join the QCOM legal team to get it done?
