gonzilee, with your comparison...
Respectfully, as I have posted here before, MDFI has been working on their technology for over 10 years. They have a customer base that is apparently not known by you, but I have posted info to lead you to your answers.
This is not a "MDFI versus the private company" that you speak of. There is enough funding and business to go around for MDFI, that the private company you speak of, and plenty of more companies to receive to be successful. Heck, the Government is allocating billions of dollars as is indicated in the IBox for you to reference.
Still, that private company that you speak of is just that... private. As it appears, MDFI's technology is already patented as from researching other companies which has not received such approvals yet. MDFI is well ahead of this situation than what you care to realize or admit.
I could go on explaining how MDFI is probably light years ahead of the private company that you speak of, but who cares if they are not? The fact of the matter is that "RIGHT NOW" MDFI has something that many want as you should be able to see this by the info within the IBox. I have also confirmed that they have been in talks with the Government and other large corporations.
I'll stop here to keep from making this post too long. I suggest you simply make a decision to invest or move on if you truly feel that MDFI is not for you. Only a suggestion.
