Once upon a time there was a giant of a company called Intel. Intel made computer chips on their X86 architecture. Nobody could do it better. Intel was best friends with Windows who was also quite popular and this helped to keep Intel on top of the world. Intel was making lots and lots of money. He was ubiquitous.
There was a little guy called ARM who wanted to get much bigger. He had an idea to teach others how to make computer chips that would put a lot of transistors onto a small chip. Arm thought he could license how to make these chips and other foundries would manufacture them but ARM could only find a few smaller friends. One day Apple went to Intel and asked if Intel would make small, lower power chips for their new toy called smartphone. It would be the first computer in a cell phone. Intel was on top of the world already and said "that is too small a job for me" and turned Apple away. Apple found ARM and asked ARM to license their architecture and Samsung to use it to make small, low power chips to fit in a smartphone. It worked very, very well. Everyone wanted one of these smartphones. Soon others came to ARM to license their architechture on how to make smaller, low power chips and put them into smartphones and anything else that was small. After all there many more things that are small than are big. After a few years Apple was making more money than Intel and ARM became so popular he became ubiquitous.
The moral of the story is: If you don't innovate and grow someone else will steal the show.

This story is of course true and I used information from a very nice book on the history of chips called Chip Wars by Chris Miller. I hope you can see the analogy between this story and LWLG. Lightwave has been the little guy with some good ideas at a crossroads with the industry needing new innovation. The plan is to license their product and knowhow on how to use it and utilize foundries to quickly ramp production and sell a smaller, faster, more cost effective (probably) and greener product to the world. I know someone who keeps telling us it will become ubiquitous. It could come sooner than many people think.
