I don't think the story here is "how can PET help/affect PTK?" If you understand the Fairchild Semi metaphor, then you understand that PTK is the new leviathan just starting to gain momentum. Nothing is going to stop it.
The only thing wrong with the Fairchild metaphor is that ultimately, Fairchild was not the winner. The winner was Intel, formed from the core engineering talents that left Fairchild when the company would not put enough resources behind their work.
Thankfully, an exodus of talent does not seem likely from POET, but rather to POET.
