Another good point: <Why can't Q simply state that in order to break in to the market they under priced the CDMA standard at 5% in order to gain traction and that 5% on WCDMA in no way reflects upon CDMA2000? > The array of arguments on QUALCOMM's side seems to me so substantial that it seems silly that Nokia's incoherent arguments are not simply laughed out of court and out of the media.

Just because Qcom under priced in 2001, doesn't justify overpricing now is the retort. If we believe that royalties should be negotiated and fairness is determined by the market, then the 2001 license was fair. That raises the question of what factors go into determining fair price. Qcom settled for less because it wanted a toe hold in a market, needed to develop the market back in 2001. Well, how does that translate into today's environment?
