As per Ajit Manocha's Fab 2.0 maybe GF is our 2nd 3rd party. BAE for the Military and GF for the Commercail markets. As Disco98 pointed out in January, GF and Samsung combined to build Apple's chips for the Iphone and Ipad already, and the industry acknowledges the need to collaborate as a reality. Therefore the possibility of an outright buyout would seem to be a non-starter. Apple may well be our "white horse", as we do need to get off the ground to get started. Early adopters should be generously rewarded. Limited exclusivity (time limited) as a possibility, but as Elieen pointed out, those invited to the table would have the opportunity to license PET & POET, and start our revenue stream continuum, and POET should have the latitude to pursue all tiers of the verticle markets available. Just a thought
