I don't think the value behind these training centers is in the announcement of a training center. The training centers will initially help develop the training programs including simulation software, and then surgeons begin training on and using real SPORT systems. That's where the buzz picks up. Even if they all need to sign confidentiality agreements, there will be leaks and word will get out. These are the guys who know the current options and want better treatment and better hardware than ISRG or TRXC are offering. I assume we are still a few months away from that point, but I suspect by the end of this year, as more people are exposed to and go hands-on with SPORT, word will be getting around that it is the real deal. The high profile folks like Dr. Patel probably can't come out and do personal endorsements because they may also be working with the competition at these training centers, but they will still talk to friends, family, etc. and word should spread. This should gradually lift PPS into a viable range for a reasonable RS and subsequent uplist. Milestone announcements in the meantime should just support and affirm the on-going efforts, which as we have seen have little impact on PPS without some additional chatter in the real world. By year end, we should start seeing both. My thoughts on it anyway... Patience and alcohol should get us through this lull!
