austin01: I tend to disagree...
In spokeshave's perfect world, here is what would happen:
1) I would be king (but, I would be a good king)
2) NVEI completes field tests and releases great performance specs. The market reacts with about a 50% gain. There is, however, still some skepticism since there is no independent verification of the specs.
3) NVEI releases the name of the Telco/supplier for prototype testing. The market reacts with another 50% gain. Skepticism about performance still remains, but there is more credibility.
4) The Telco/supplier independently verifies the performance of the product under field conditions. The market reacts with very high volume and enough of a gain to qualify NVEI for NASDAQ SC listing.
At this point, the market recognizes that NVEI has a demonstrated technology that is economically viable. The market is forward-looking, and will consider the potential revenue from this technology accordingly. This will probably be the most inflationary period. I expect (in my perfect world) an increase of a few hundred percent even though a volume product may still be 6 months away.
However, the very most important part of this whole picture is that I am king.
