What these "best posts" on InterDigital's RISKS and REWARD Investment Potential below are about:

What are the potential risks an investor in InterDigital today faces? How much risk is there that InterDigitals current share price will fall --  and by how much (modest fall, precipitous fall)? What would it take to bring shares down to the teens? Or the low twenties?

How is InterDigital doing on cost-containment, legal expenses? Will acquisitions help or hurt InterDital's bottom line? Will InterDigital declare dividends? r buy back shares? What would happen if a bidding war ensued by the likes of Cisco or Microsoft or Qualcomm to buy out InterDigital for its rich patent portfolio?

What is the upward potential for the InterDigital share price? If another 3G license is signed? If another top-six 3G license is signed? If Nokia, with 35% market share is signed? If InterDigital reaches its goal of ALL 3G wireless terminals (eg cell phones, pda's etc) are licensed? And ongoing legal fees are substantially reduced?

What about the impact of earnings from other parts of InterDigital's successful business model? How about a balance sheet with hundreds of million in cash?  Is a stock buyback or a dividend program better for shareholders?

Does InterDigital have the most favorable Risk to Reward ratio among mid-cap wireless communications firms?

There's plenty of give and take, helpful information and keen insights among the I Hub posts and threads here - on all sides of the Risk and Reward topic.

IHub comments by attorneys and others on the TRANSCRIPTS of last May's ITC Nok-IDCC HEARING

(How are knowledgeable posters interpreting the all important hearing in which IDCC demands that Nokia's 3G phones be banned from import into the USA because

Nokia is infringing on IDCC technologies, failing to pay licensing fees that most other cell phone manufacturers are paying to InterDigital)

What are the prospects for a Nokia-InterDigital agreement on 3G licensing?

These posts deal with InterDigital's progress in licensing cell phone market leader (40% share) Nokia for 3G. The immediate interest in the summer of 2009 is the upcoming (August 14, 2009) decision of the administrative law judge for the ITC  as to weather to bar Nokia from importing into the United States 3G cell phones which InterDigital claims violate their patent rights.
