But think my scenario through a little further. IF Wencor had say a 33% equity stake and their desired level of control, they could opt to ``force`` all of EDIG`s IFE efforts in their direction. BUT, they`d be holding 100M shares! So, if some other entity wanted to license EDIG`s tech for anything, including a variation of IFE, Wencor would still capitalize. And at that point, it`s easy money. License the tech, and count the royalties.
While we hear Wencor can provide world-wide support, there may be places where they couldn`t or wouldn`t want to support. Let another entity step in (with contractual limits) and they`d still reap a reward.
Again, my scenario does not suggest a formal exclusivity agreement (EDIG has always been opposed to offering exclusivity as a basic business concept). It only suggests that Wencor could buy enough control/influence to assure that all of EDIG`s IFE business goes their way (and that`s the whole point). But Wencor could opt to allow others in, and still be in a ``win``, and controlling, position.
JMHO,
