Lee Shepherd and the Laser The laser is the most important part of POET and it was the most difficult to achieve. I think now that they have the laser it opens the door for them to seriously market POET. We were right about the timing of Lee Shepherds hire.
I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head Fairchij. One of the most common complaints I've read about OPEL's management is the issuing of nr's in a timely manner....well I think we can safely say they appear to have learned their lesson.
You were right when you said that Opel wouldn't have bothered to hire Lee Shepherd unless the laser had been completed and now I think you're theory of Shepherd marketing POET is also bang on and as it's already been pointed out.....the laser was the "bottleneck"....it's just a matter of time for the other milestones and even with the "Sandy" delay, I think we'll find things will be moving quickly from here.
