InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Following article 'Huawei to roll out 5.5G equipment' is from ECNS.NS (I believe the English-language version of the China News Service). The last paragraph of the article states:

"With service models and content evolving continuously, breakthroughs in technologies like goggles-free 3D are creating unprecedented immersive experiences for users. However, these new services require stronger 5G network capabilities, making a stronger case for 5.5G modalities".

I cannot envision a goggles-free 3D immersive experiences unless one either puts on some sort of huge space helmet or enters a custom designed room created for that purpose. But I digress.

However I have a technical question for any techies on the board lurking (looking at you Data) or otherwise actively posting. If 5.5G and eventually 6G enable faster and faster downloads of data then are such future speeds dependent on video compression that IDCC is providing leading edge solutions for or will video compression solutions eventually become a non-factor due to future download speed solutions not needing video compression?

The reason I ask questions is due to the fact that IDCC's price is high compared to most of its history. I see a few posts asking for a reasonable exit point. Personally I am hopeful for IDCC's future due to some of the heavyweights in the industry who have joined IDCC during the past few years. But I have been invested more on a hunch than on technical knowledge. Personally I am not looking to sell because I hold onto a stock until either it goes bankrupt or gets bought out. That is why I am in favor of a dividend increase.
