@Aves,

I'm more worried that when MS7 is completed a deal will not be announced. Although it seems likely given the length of time POET has been developed in partnership with BAE, and the promise of an "order of magnitude" improvement in resolution over current technology. I still worry that the achievement of MS7 will disappoint if a deal doesn't follow immediately. We have talked ourselves into this to the point where it feels like a forgone conclusion.

The statement in Pellegrino still gives me pause. I think it said military will take 2-18 months to execute a license following the attainment of the necessary TRL. Hopefully the looming presence of Boeing ignites their sense of urgency.
