And it goes without saying that any licensing agreement with a Tier 1 dramatically increases POET's visibility in the investment world! You can talk about the same old language but they have something that is badly needed that does not appear to be available from existing technologies. Why wouldn't industry engage? A license deal does not require POET to front money...the opposite is true. What kind of license fees would we be talking about?

This is the first time they have ever talked about licensing their core technology. In the past it was always about licensing technology that is peripheral to the core applications. 

I think this marks a new chapter for POET and its long suffering shareholders.
