RE:Its a Tough Hard RoadWho knows who's DLE tech will be used. They could not announce that a few weeks ago but eluded that they would this year. They will also continue to develop their own tech but engineering will be based on 3rd party tech.
I take this as getting built sooner at an additional upfront or OPEX cost. I like the proven tech anduo sooner approach as it brings cashflow in on time. It's also less risk. This might be more appealing to partners as well as any partner wants a good probability of success.
