nobody has it. Everbody wants it.
Baghdad Bob, great timing on reposting this article.
Thanks.
It's something that we as investors, in this beaten down two-bit (make that 6+ cents) company, tend to forget.
When China comes knocking and says we'll make our own
(2 years ago and still nothing from them).....be happy.
Because, nobody has it. Not even us, yet
(commercial stratospheric craft to be clear). And if China can't beat us to market like they do the Movie industry daily in the alleys of Beijing, then they don't know how. Hey, they're just balloons, right?!? lol
To be in such a market with a nearterm product
(yes, 2010 for this kind of product is not excessive),
and have the line start to queue outside (all those delegates from multi US departments go to see the Airchain do it's thing...count),
and the most populous nation on earth get surly with you as you generously show them the future, (as Kroplin did) is fantastic!
Bob, yesterday you asked what the glue in all this is. I fixated only on Globetel's supply-side of the equation and what they used to connect with the government.
And Nerlimerlin correctly added the name (am sure Dan E. as Mide mentioned is included) of an individual at GTEM with, some gov't pull, but the stongest pull of all comes from the customer (supply side). It's Demand.
Consumer demand, drives everything. Because without it, there is no market, and with it....
People line-up when there is yet..no product. Kinda like we are seeing play out in Stuttgart now. Or in this article you've reposted today. Or when the gov't first sat down with the Sanswire folks in 2005.
Anybody who has Airchains stacked like cordword in a shed, already has the right design approach for testing and product development. I await the Chinese version this August in Beijing. Stuttgart's will be a little tardy in October.
