WirelessLedger.com believes that our current FOCUS STOCK has one of the most promising "risk to reward" ratio in the wireless industry today.

 

Updated November 16, 2011                              

InterDigital Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:IDCC)

PERSPECTIVE: WirelessLedger.com initiated the Internet's most comprehensive coverage of InterDigital in early Fall 1999, when the Company's shares were trading between $5 and $6.  The early August, 2011 share price of $65 is UP OVER 1.000%  since our coverage of InterDigital began. A "ten bagger"!  At that time the WL editor believed InterDigital was one of the best stock values available to investors. It has certainly turned out to be such a value.  WirelessLedger.com continues to believe that InterDigital's share price potential remains substantial. The July 2011 share price increase of more than 50% reflects the stock market's new understanding of the value of the kind of wireless communications patents that InterDigital has been developing for the past 30 years. WirelessLedger.com believes that InterDigital will be acquired before year-end 2011 by Google, Apple, Samsung or another wireless giant with very deep pockets. M Partners analyst Ron Shuttleworth believes the Company may bring $118 to $167 in a competitive acquisition. Read the current ANALYST REPORTS as well as the current MEDIA ARTICLES below for a fresh understanding of InterDigital's newly acquired value in the light of this summer's auction of Nortel's patents for an amazing $4.5 billion.

Network of Networks

The next generation in wireless will be characterized by the seamless integration of multiple communications networks, which include other air interfaces, that intelligently and constantly connect people and things across a myriad of wide, local, and personal area networks.

The Bandwidth Solution

InterDigital: "In anticipation of the significant bandwidth demands being placed on wireless networks by smartphones, netbooks, tablets and the like, we have been developing advanced solutions that address the emerging network congestion issues, the industry’s biggest challenge going forward."

In InterDigital Labs

VIDEO: As InterDigital continues to leapfrog the industry, we are working on advanced solutions that will support more efficient wireless networks, a richer multimedia experience, and new mobile broadband capabilities for decades to come.

On the Horizon

InterDigital: "Wehave earned a reputation for solving some of the industry’s toughest technical challenges before others even recognize them. When the rest of the world was working on analog, we were developing digital. When everyone focused on voice, we were working on data. While others pursued narrowband, we were demonstrating broadband. And as most companies are just beginning to wonder where 3G, WiMAX and WiFi will go in the future, we are already delivering harmonizing solutions for seamless mobility between all standards."

2003 Comprehensive Report on InterDigital

This report, updated through August 2003, was originally prepared by WirelessLedger.com in early Fall of 1999 when the Company's shares were trading between $5 and $6.

The August 28, 2006 share price of $32 is UP OVER 500%  since our original report was issued.  At that time the editor believed InterDigital was one of the best stock values avalable to investors. Up 500% since then, it has certainly turned out to be such a value.  WirelessLedger.com continues to believe that InterDigital remains one of the best stock values in the telecommunications industry today, with a 24 month target price of $100.00.
