Ignited, I would tend to think the current financial environment has caused Alliacense to focus on sectors and or international companies that would be less impacted by recession and poor sales. Many of those who perhaps had been negotiating, have put talks on hold out of necessity. For instance, Alliacense said they were going to focus on the auto sector in 2007....That did not pan out as the industry across the board has been reporting weaker sales quarter after quarter. I hope they are able to maintain higher license fees or change strategy and set up payment terms over time to maintain a consistent flow of licensees.
