Sulasailor: I have contacted via e mail a number of UK TV Technical pundits by pointing them at material on the company's website usually in response to comments from them on advances where POET would be potentially superior. I have never had a response.
No surprise, Robert, because the POET story does not fit with what the media call "news value" or "newsworthiness". It fulfills only very few of the conditions for news, see the "news value" Wikipedia article.
This will change as soon as POET Technologies announces a cooperation with a big name – no, as soon as a big name announces a cooperation with POET Technologies. This would fulfill at least the conditions "frequency", "unexpectedness", "reference to elite companies", and "data".
