No!  Doubt,

 DL was needed to develop the Interposer.  Not to have DL and its staff, facilities, expertise and equipment would have led to longer OI development timescales and greater development expenses.  However, long it has been for us as investors, I think management were having to bust a gut to keep ahead of the game., a game which takes time to get right from all its complex aspects.  They were right to focus on the task in hand and not pander Copettiesq like to investor insecurity providing blow by blow news.

You need to look at the broader picture, the benefits that you can’t see because   maybe , just maybe POET has actually got something after all, don’t you think?  Why else would a consortium be put together, to get around a tricky trading situation perhaps, to take a lead in 5G roll out etc etc but essentially to make lots of money from ground changing technical innovation.  The basis most longs invested in PTI and hoped.

As regards SP growth The names of companies don’t matter its the massive act of  approval, faith that the consortium has shown in PTI and the OI after no doubt deep rooted due diligence that will impress the serious investment community and put POET on their radar screen.  The SP will respond in due course when the size of potential growth is properly analysed.
