perhaps next week we will get an update.

34:48 –Question: Is the POET VCSEL complete and ready to be commercialized?

34:52 –Answer: We are on plan to commercialize the POET VCSEL in 2016. We have made significant progress in the development of the POET VCSEL, and in the quarter ending today, we recorded a 3X improvement in laser output power. And we are on a trajectory to another sizable improvement within the next quarter, as we transition our fabrication to external sources. We expect to announce core integration of the VCSEL with electronics in the second quarter 2016, which will then set the stage for prototypes to be designed.

19:34 – We are also on track to demonstrate integrated 10 gigabit per second transmit and receive components that incorporate the FETs, VCSELs, and detectors by the second quarter of 2016. These milestones will allow us to provide functioning prototypes to the market in the second half of 2016, as per our plan. These advances are at the heart of our mission to deliver the next generation of transceivers and providing the performance of light at the cost of copper.
