"One could muse that this would also give a company or a consortium or syndicate that has to follow disclosure rules that PTK does not. Additionally it would give them the time to work on niggly parts in the legal theater, marketing, etc etc. Without fear of exposing the real deal...."yet"."

I have a small problem with this statement. Becoming part of a consortium would be considered "material" news, I'm sure, and not announcing it would be detrimental to shareholders.

I'll buy that they don't have to disclose disscussions and possibilities, even intial contracts until MS are completed, but becoming part of a consortium?
