Monolithic,

I don't see POET being able to secure the ability to produce in large volumes until the prototypes are done and the customers like it and begin to order.  They can line up some subcontractors, but even that takes time and logistics, etc.

But, at the point they have some quality stuff that is able to be mass produced, then perhaps someone much larger will come along and buy us out at a nice premium, one that will upset most everyone, but I think that's the most likely way in which POET will proceed and succeed.

That could all change if the Indian government comes through for us.  A pile of money would always help, and would not make us so inclined to sell the company.
