Lebowski,
After reading this myself. This is a very strategic move to access this market. And knowning the right people too. To paraphrase from your post.
As strategic partners to POET, the members of the Consortium are committed to help guide the Company to some of the largest potential customers in China, made possible because of their collective size, knowledge of the market and established technology industry connections.
As always. Excited and patiently waiting. Sort of:)
