I understand concerns about service contracts and training new users but they are not that difficult to compartmentalize and solve.
Those concerns do not keep companies from developing and being very succesful at promoting a new product or technology ! I actually find it rediculous that seemingly educated trained people would think those issues would be so insurmountable that an acquisition would be forced or needed.
These devices will more than likely produce error codes have remote Internet acces and its very possible that a capable small team and when I mean small team I mean 1-4 people small in the early stages can handle many early glitches remotely.
Those people will help the new users to trouble shoot reboot etc see if it has gas in it so to speak to handle the basics . A properly engineered device has far fewer issues than most would expect but they will occur.
As for a sales force they will materialize right before the companies very eyes when you have a product that will excel quickly in the market place word spreads like wildfire and a medical device sales rep can smell money slightly better than a shark detecting a drop of blood in 7,000,000 gallons of water or 2 miles away.
And before I get asked for a source on the shark info I made up the shark numbers but you get my point.
All that being said I think somebody or multiple somebodies makes an offer they will accept ,,,,,, but if it were my choice I would take it 2 years past approval and sell it for 10 times the early offers
Just another opinion and perspective
