Also, think about this:
If we were GF investors and Dr. Venkatesan would make the same statement for GF:
"The Company has, for the first time, engaged commercial epitaxial wafer suppliers in providing wafers with the unique and proprietary GlobalFoundries epitaxial stack."
People would be ecstatic, I don't see why it should be any different coming from Suresh at PTI. The man has a reputation that proceeds him, one that from the looks of it he has relied upon greatly, and in my mind, one that he foresees keeping.
