Remember what I said about posting evidence-free claims? This is one of them.
Why are there suddenly so many companies wanting to engage with Lightwave now?
Go ahead, tell me the names of all the companies "wanting to engage with Lightwave now."
Go ahead, I'll wait. Provide some verifiable evidence for that claim.
Unfortunately, I'll be waiting a long time because there's no proof for this claim.
Vague statements from Lebby like "they've received a lot of interest from potential customers" are broad enough that they most likely mean that junior level engineers stopped by their demo at OFC and asked for a brochure. That's worlds away from what you're implying with your misleading statement.
