As much as we, and I suspect the BOD, would like good news to be published. The involvement of a big player (HP is my guess) will demand very high levels of corporate security and strategic timing of any NR. Making such an announcement will have to be intricately inserted into a complex development plan and because of the revolutionary nature of the POET technology the impact on the industry and competitors will have to be factored in. Timing will be a vital factor in any major players plan.

For this reason I can't imagine this announcement will happen soon. As I have said previously 'the silence is deafening'.

I am afraid we all may have to wait a good deal longer for any NR of a partner but may hear of the achievement of a MS soon.
