RE:They need long term contractsI did a quick search on MERX yesterday, and there are a lot of telecommunication and communication services contracts across Canada (and probably in the U.S.). I sent an e-mail to Doren and urged him to start looking into these and writing proposals, pressing flesh and getting some comfort in contracts at home. I went to a seminar in Vancouver about selling to the Feds, and there are going to be a lot of bureaucrats retiring in the next few years. Gov't is looking to replace these with business people. NCI has over 200 engineers. They have financing now, so they definitely have the credibility and capacity to get some very nice work. I invested in this company, because I was looking for something in this sector, knowing the demand is out there for talented people. Please reinforce this to Doren. Perhaps you are right, they have to invest a few $$ to write proposals or build liaison with government. You can research this yourself by going on the MERX website. Doren did say they check MERX for opportunities, but I think there are a lot of management in NCI that could be doing a lot more. JMHO
