I found that post by the good Dr. Taylor as odd, almost scripted.

If I was the inventor of the next phase of Moore's Law, I would be shouting at the top of my lungs about it.

But no, Dr. Taylor merely suggests it, at the same time as stating "it's already happened"

There has been proven success in integrating optics and electronics onto one monolithic chip, which packages high-performance electronic elements at a density similar to silicon. Such monolithic implementations have a large advantage compared to today’s hybrid solutions in terms of density, reliability and power dissipation, at a much lower cost than the best available competitors.

Ok, we all know about it, but why not come out and say "hey world, we've already done this".

Then, unfortunately, he not only does omits telling the world that his own technology, that he developed, can do it now, but leaves it up for grabs by anyone.

The jury is still out on what technology will catalyze the next wave of semiconductor innovation and deliver massive improvements in the size, power, speed and cost of chipsets that will power tomorrow’s commercial and consumer products. But what is clear is that today’s silicon-based integrated circuits and manufacturing processes are increasingly unsustainable – and will soon come to an end.

Why?

One idea is that it is material info, and that without a proper press release he could get himself into trouble, although that seems doubtful, as the numerous releases by the company have stated these facts for some time.

Another thought is that the tech is NOT ready to roll out, even though there has been "proven success" in the development. I do not claim to have the knowledge required to state that this chip has all been put together and delivered to potential customers. When the Dr. says...With the semiconductor business expected to reach $430 billion by 2015, the is door wide open for the next wave of chipset innovators to continue advancements in computing, alternatives have been proposed using different compounds such as silicon-germanium (SiGe), indium phosphide (InP) and gallium nitride (GaN) – yet these are based on high-cost hybrid manufacturing technologies, which have not been able to break through the smaller/faster/cheaper criteria. A few other alternatives are still in R&D mode, but it’s unknown when they will be available. Importantly, most require significant changes to design and software, as well as retooling of manufacturing equipment, which certainly don’t address the low cost requirement to drive future chipset design and manufacturing.....but does NOT even mention GaA's, I begin to wonder. I do not believe GaN is the same as GaA.

But in the same paragraph above, he states all the complications with "other alternatives", which, according to what we have been led to believe, are not issues with Poet. Why not state that?

Which is why I think (hope?) this was written for Dr. Taylor, by the people at Atomic, to slowly wean people off of silicon and on to some other platform. It's really the only thing that makes sense. Why bother going through all those words and not even mention that you have a working model sitting on yur shop floor?

Or maybe you don't.

I'm so confused.
