Yep; the S2 project will bleed GTE's resources very heavily over the timeframe that it will take for it to become a fully operational and saleable product. I hope we all have the patience of Job to weather this storm... This will be a monumental and very expensive task for a company of this size to succeed in.
For those that feel GTE has the appearance of 'spinning its wheels' now . . . just wait. GTE will look (and probably act) as if they are in mud up to their chin.
A great partner is almost a must once we get beyond the initial launch and test stages, IMO...
