Etops: According to Peter's timelines, a partnership announcement should have already taken place. This begs the obvious question; what happened? Did they fall apart?

Don't forget the sputter issue! At the beginning of February it might have not been clear how serious the problem was and which implications it would have. There might have been other issues or considerations, technological, strategical or otherwise. It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future.

As we have said here several times, this is research, development, and turning research results into products. It is a complex process which cannot be predicted like a train schedule.

There have been and always will be issues, problems, delays, and re-priorizations. This is normal. They surely haven't fallen apart. Look, besides issues there always has been great success. Remember the many milestones that have been completed, some of them with external validation! POET Technologies has delivered – always. The technology is rock-solid.

I am expecting this success story to continue, with great news in a not too distant future.
