With Poet continuing to strengthen its relationship(s) with China Prosper's contacts and their investment in DL Shanghai along with the North American tier 1 that Poet is confidentially qualifying the 8 discrete components, they could get funds or a partnership down the road to take this to the next level backed by deep pockets. It's all about silicon-based and the OI for now, the low hanging fruit as the nearest path to revenues. It's nice we have all those patents to go further (if it should ever come to that). In the meantime, OI optical engines and OI and other components provide still huge opportunities and markets for Poet. 

I think some of Poet's future has already been hinted at by Denselight planning to go from thousands of units to 15 million units. Maybe that is a just one or a few streams of the floodgates readying to open sales flow?
