Firstly, don't mistake me for someone who knows jack. I never met him. But, I don't think MSGI has the right to license this technology to anyone else. Therefore, if they are to make money with the license rights which they have purchased they need to have a product to sell. Taking a technology from the lab to the market takes serious money. If MSGI can get the ship moving with VNTH and demonstrate a functional product and show some revenue, then venture capital resources will be available to do other things.
I see that MSGI is still listed in the Hartwell Capitol Consulting list of clients. So, they likely have the right connections. But big investors want to see some product and sales before they jump in. (you watch Shark Tank, don't you?)
Listing MSGI right now doesn't really serve too much purpose. If VNTH doesn't get off the ground then MSGI is dead anyway.
