INTEREST in IDC CONTINUES TO BUILD right into the weekend at the TelecomTechStocks.com web site! Saturday, Dec 4 visitors (sessions) 360 Sunday, Dec 5 visitors (sessions) 409 Monday, Dec 6 visitors (sessions) 522 Tuesday, Dec 7 visitors (sessions) 750 Wedday, Dec 8 visitors (sessions) 740 Thursday Dec 9 visitors (sessions) 716 Friday Dec 10 visitors (sessions) 1,131 Satday Dec 11 visitors (sessions) 1,360 (at 8:00 p.m.) (Average number of visitor sessions since September 1 has been 236) During this period, we have had visitors from Canada (35), Norway (24), United Arab Emirates (10), Belgium (10), Netherlands (10) Germany (9), Tonga (9), UK (5), Finland (4), Singapore (4) Israel (3), Morocco (3), Austria (3), Australia (3), and 1 each from Sweden, Ireland, Korea, Aruba and Switzerland. above indicates upswing in visitor sessions Friday 12/10 and Saturday 12/11. (I find the growing interest in IDC from the United Arab Emirates particularly interesting!) Visitors are staying longer and visiting more pages Friday and Saturday. This is also an indicator of the increasingly serious consideration of IDC as an investment. Visitors are linking directly this week from Yahoo, Raging Bull, msn.com, Silicon Investor, regional and national brokerages, corporate headquarters of InterDigital's principal industry competitors, major universities and research centers and federal government offices. Most popular sections being visited are: Home page at telecomtechstocks.com Introductory page to the InterDigital as Focus Stock report at telecomtechstocks.com Introduction to Telecommunications Technology (beginners level) at telecomtechstocks.com Latest news about InterDigital at telecomtechstocks.com O K, so why has this IDC stock been so cheap when its "sister stock" Qualcomm is so expensive?" at telecomtechstocks.com Overview/summary of InterDigital as an investment at telecomtechstocks.com Third Generation Standards for Wireless at telecomtechstocks.com Litigation between InterDigital and Ericsson at telecomtechstocks.com And the section describing how the non-commercial, cookie free web site originated and what its biases are. That's at telecomtechstocks.com We do not even know, and of course we never report, who individuals are who are visiting. Identification is by domain only. Since corporations, universities etc have their own domain, that information is obvious. Bill Dalglish editor www.TelecomTechStocks.com

Monday December 13, 3:55 pm Eastern Time U.S. Options - Interdigital vols, volume stay high CHICAGO, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Implied volatility and volume stayed high on Monday in options on Interdigital Communications Corp. (AMEX:IDC - news) as the stock set another new 52-week high. Implied vols for the January 22.5s hovered near 160 percent, above Friday's 143 percent area. ``Yes, it (implied volatility) seems to be high still,' said market maker at the Pacific Exchange. ``We can't speculate as to why.' ``The volatilities are higher,' agreed an options analyst. Turnover also remained hefty on Monday after Friday's nearly 9,600-contract total. The option usually posts volume of around 2,800 contracts daily. At 2:45 p.m. CST (2045 GMT) Monday, roughly 11,040 options had traded, including 6,385 calls and 4,655 puts. The December 12.5 calls, which expire Friday afternoon, were up 3 at 8-1/2 on volume of 862 and open interest of 2,441. The January 17.5 calls were flat at 6 on turnover of 572 and zero open interest. The busiest puts - the March 7.5s - firmed 7/16 to 1 on volume of 1,110 and open interest of 1,632. Neither the market maker nor the analyst spotted any solid fresh news behind the rise in the options vols or stock of the Pennsylvania-based wireless telecommunications developer. In late November, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office reaffirmed the validity of two Interdigital patents at the heart of a lawsuit by the Swedish telecommunications equipment maker Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson. On Monday, Interdigital shares were up 2-1/8 at 20-1/8 on American Stock Exchange volume of 2.8 million. The stock earlier on Monday touched 24-15/16, its second consecutive 52-week high.
