Fairchij, your words are very close to my heart!
Money rules the world. But - there is also one reason why POET could - or has to stay independent!

POET will be such a game changer in almost all the electronic industry worldwide. So I hope for goodness' sake that the US and Canadian governments can prevent such a monopoly. I just can not be that one giant like Apple, Google or Samsung will control all of these industries!

But even without buy - out POET would be in control. One company? With other companies like ARM it works quite well.
But somehow I find the idea of our "crazy old lady" very charming - an open cooperative or consortium of industry partners under the roof of POET technologies. A kind of reciprocal participation? It is for sure an option.
