He does not have to continue to hold or dribble the ball to maintain PC, as long as nothing occurs that, by rule, would cause the PC to end.
Once player control is established and until it ends, a player cannot move his feet outside of prescribed limits.

I'm sorry to say that I'm having trouble dissecting you previous answers. So, please reconsider answering them as briefly as possible for this scenario:
Player places ball at feet on floor, releases ball, PAUSEs, then taps ball forward. Player runs (many steps) and grabs ball in both hands.
So, while the ball is on the floor during this PAUSE, does the player have control? YES or NO
If the answer to that is NO, when does he first regain control?
