I am not agree with you too. probably this company needs wait for 20 years. it depends the time reference. today bad news if you want to earn money in 2017. welcome to the market. Risk is high here. Everybody knows it, no?

So how is this "the market" if we supposedly have what everyone wants? 20 years is not an option with other photonic solutions breathing down our necks... either we have a monolithic solution, or we don't. Apparently, once further optimization takes place, we do. Granting the truth of that, why would "the market" want to purposely retard POET's commercialization? just to make a quick buck and on to the next quickie? even "the market" must have some ability to see beyond a quick buck, no?
