"Apple is known for investing time and money into designing top-of-the line products for discerning, style-driven customers, but a Bloomberg report suggests the company is also making a big push to upgrade its networking and data center infrastructure.

Specifically, Apple is building a high-speed network and upgrading its data centers as it moves more deeply into providing cloud-based services, according to unnamed sources familiar with the plans who spoke to Bloomberg.

"User experience is very important to Apple, but delivery of its content is the one part of that experience it doesn't control," Andrew Schmitt, an analyst at IHS Infonetics Research, told Bloomberg. "If they want to control and maximize that user experience, they're going to have to control that last piece."

According to the June 8 report, the investment will run into the billions and cross the US. Apple wants to own its own connecting pipes between its four US-based data centers. In keeping with the company's innovative prowess, it is looking into new technologies that would allow it to move more data at faster speeds."

Seems like a good fit and entry into the market for POET, and the timing seemes to be about right. Most of these centers will be operational in 2017, right around the time of our expected revenue. Speculation on my part of course, and sorry about the different fonts.
