Brundal> It's not a pre-requisite of the RFP to have the ability to produce a monolithic chip on day one as you make it sound. 

Brundal I did not say it was a pre-requisite to have the ability to produce a monolithic chip on day one but it is what POET offers. 

It is however a pre-requisite of the RFP to present a technology platform in which all devices are available to produce the applications specified to meet the requirements of the RFP.
