Robin..do you read what you write?
Cole Thorton confusion:
"PS Any luck on that link to the two football field Skyworm?"
It's ok to mix-up posters Robin, you just need to acknowledge it, instead of burying yourself deeper with convoluted logic like this:
"I just asked for proof to prove you didn't have any!"
Huh? lol.
If you are going to reply with anymore of these kinds of nonsensical answers, who will respond to your questions?
As far as this query. No attempt has been made to avoid answering. Simply put, you ask a tremendous amount of questions, and then allow little time to reply. You're so clever....
Now, try to recall back to yesterday a post explaining that not all of us live on this board as you. It will come to you, am sure. Am just hoping there won't be another convoluted response from you....
As for answering this:
Why a company that had a promising new technology would partner with GlobeTel/Sanswire instead of one of many other companies that would have so much more to offer them.

(opinion)
The problem with this statment is that TIME is removed from the context. In 2005, Tao T. technology (airchain) was not new. In 1999 Kroplin won his kudos for it in Europe. It was lauded, for it's design, but it's functionality (in the marketplace) was nonexistent due to key technological hurdles yet to surmounted.
TIME, would need to pass, allowing the tech (like thin film solar and PEM fuel cell) to catch up to the design itself.
Think of it as a car that was waiting for the invention of gasoline.
Question for you Robin? How much value would you place on a non-running car in 2005? Well, it would be dependent on when the gas would arrive, yes? At that TIME most tech pundits believed the tech for HAPS would arrive anywhere from 2010 to 2015.
And even if that 'gas' arrived, was there any certainty that some other technology (or another airship maker) would not come along in the interval to competitively outdo the HAP as a satellite replacement? No.
What is the present value of uncertain future 'promising' technology, Robin?
Most big companies are too busy filling out there current REAL & TANGIBLE customer orders, then to haggle over a ephemeral nonstarter.
And sometimes, the big boys simply rip off the idea, and let the courts figure it out years down the road. If then.Right?
Now a small player, willing to take a big chance just might move in for the price of a song......yes?
But, then we ask, (as time has gone by as tech progress has been made) why haven't we seen any other big bucks partners step up...if Kroplin has the goods?
Truth is, still, not all the tech is complete. Fuel cells aren't, we know that. And practical thin film in the 20% eff. is not quite here yet either. So, perhaps they wait.
Or maybe, we see this Satellite company move in. We shall see.
Nobody is denying that the odds aren't long here. It's just that we like the Kroplin take on HAPS and are willing to wait it out -Something the big boys might not be willing to do.
Am tired now. nite.
