utterbull: Although I think it would be an excellent pr move as well as a much-needed humane gesture by donating some units to Doctors Without Borders or Project Hope, I'm not just saying that's the only line of travel here. The National Institute Of Hygeine And Epidemiology has 30bil of Gate's money and it's just looking for something to do with it. The Gates Foundation would pay for the units through the trust, and the Institute would then provide the SoftPaps, with delivery and literature, to the needing clinics and countries. You have no idea how vast the problem is out there, and how huge the market is. Because the patients are impoverished and the clinics are strapped (for both money and talent), the best route is to have philanthropic trusts and advocacy groups buy the SoftPaps for them. I'm not talking about giving them away. The SoftPap does no good sitting on a shelf. It needs to be in the hands of clinicians and the cervixes of women. This is the best, and perhaps only, way to do that. Since the units are then available at no cost, there is no competitive factor. It also removes the stigma of being an unknown entity. Believe me, once free Pap tests start rolling in to the clinics, they'll take to them quickly and gladly. The then follow-up AIPS, DDS, and assays from the Cytocore Solutions Systems will be right behind them as they come onto market. Voila. Market dominance. Much sooner and easier than originally planned. Make sense?
