"Fundemental vs. Essential" sounds like semantics to me.

If Qualcomm has Patents that are valid and are being used by another company, whether or not they are, contributions to ARIB's, ETSI's, or 3GPP's 3G standardization process before mid-2001.<i/>, is hardly an authorization for use without compensation. Just ask Broadcomm....

Eric, since you haven't ever seen the relevant agreements, and haven't done, nor do you have the capacity to do, an expert analysis of the relative patent portfolios of Nokia and Qualcomm,your post on those subjects is simply assertion, written from the Nokia/Simonson PR line. Stick to what you know, and forget about regurgitating Nokia's public positions. We can read their press releases, planted stories, and and legal positions first hand, without them being blown out of the backside of a Delaware europhile.

'[edit: Some patents] are or will be expired, but not "fully paid up."'

The phrase "fully paid up" for expired licenses makes no sense to me.
