So we can all agree that Standards Essential Patents are a necessity
in technology. Without them, each company would be implementing the same
technologies in their own way, effectively re-inventing the wheel every time.
And none of these technologies would play ball with each
other.
Scrub the "Essential Patents" part if you want everyone
to agree. Personally I think standards should be totally unencumbered and freely
available. Let the market choose the cheapest, fastest, locally sourced, out
sourced, or most reliable implementation as their needs dictate.

I do not agree that Standards Essential Patents are necessary. So not all
agree on that point.

Err... that's what a Standard (not an SEP,
two different things) is for.
So, the standards setting
organizations made it possible to still get a patent on your ideas for your hard
work...
Nope... that's the Job of the Patent Office - such as the
USPTO. And the USPTO is not involved in any standards body - like IEEE - that I'm aware
of.
The rest of your assertions I'm not in a position to have an opinion
on.
Would such a sliding scale make sense? Seems to. But it also seems
to be a breach of the "non discriminatory" part of FRAND.
