Not only is the $20 million in sales based only on West Virginia, it is also based only on the coal mining sector, for which the product is initially being mandated. However, once in the coal mines, it is reasonable to consider that hard rock mines could follow. Also, China, which has an enormous number of coal mines, a very poor safety record in coal mines, and a stated intention to improve in that respect (which has already started), has indicated an interest in these types of products. Why are very high margins reasonable to expect? Relative lack of competition compared to the number of mines that would need to install a system like ACT's. Customers being required to install the product by government. Very large market from the perspective of a relative start-up like ACT, but not large enough to be particularly attractive to the huge wireless players.
