Just for fun and total high altitude speculation (almost in space) but imagine if BB go private whilst market value is in the basement, they get the market analysts off their backs, allowing the company to make the short-term difficult decisions necessary to right the ship; then BB get the exclusive rights for POET in smartphones .... a couple of years later they clean up and dominate the smartphone market and go public again.

Stuff of dreams but what if eh .........

Oh well back to reality ....
