I don't think people were waiting in the wings for OPEL/POET to hire these two guys. Even the pending MS5 announcement will likely be met with tepid approval.

I agree with the many posters that signs of a deal with BAE or a JV partner will be the real driver. Unfortuantely (for us, short term) the company has stated clearly that the monetization effort updates are not to be expected so it will take a real deal to move things. An announcement like this catch the market with it's pants down, too.

The only other possibility is that Atomic could begin spread the word just when all the geeks at OPEL's target companies get to see POET in action. This is what I'm hoping for.
