My thoughts on this - many of the big players are investing billions into this technology are are going to want to see a return on investment. Either they continue to support this path or the people responsible for making those decisions will see the unemployment line. POET may offer the better solution but many of the top execs have huge egos and will keep throwing good money after bad. To acknowledge a small start up having the solution isn't in their thinking.As so often mentioned - this technology is disruptive and like Tucker automobile - POET is a threat that can be taken out.
