yes a multi JV would have been great thing for the industry -- still a possibility imo (although diminishing).... and yes it was dumb thinking to bash amda for 3 years, and now instead amda has only strengthened behind the scenes (even if it looked like they were on the ropes at times).... It does look to me also like the Industry guys were taken for dummies by an entity or entities, and sold a story that was not true... and what they unknowingly did was to their own detriment IMO...
