"At that TIME(2005) most tech pundits believed the tech for HAPS would arrive anywhere from 2010 to 2015."
Not you imawswami, you told us Huff already had many, years ago! Fortunately, I didn't believe you then either.
"What is the present value of uncertain future 'promising' technology..."
Why do you ask this now, when years ago you said...
"It should be obvious to the reader, based on the individual speakers presenting and the particulars of topics covered, that the Stratellite and it's various "versions" have arrived."
imawswami, you concluded "versions" of Stratellites already existed, based merely on who was speaking at certain events... and now years later you speak of "uncertain future 'promising' technology"
Well that's been my point all along. TAO still has nothing of value, it's still only a "promise" for the future. Because "if" TAO had something they could prove, something important, they would have partnered with a proven, important company that could have offered them all the resources they need. They would not have given away half their company to a miserable, failed disaster like GlobeTel/Sanswire. If you think big companies are not interested in the next big technology, you are just as wrong about them as you have been about GlobeTel. They're just as anxious to get in early as anyone else. Once again, you're simply wrong.
Of course that has not stopped many from telling us about impeccable credentials. About a small player moving in for a song. From claiming they already did the LOE, that the tests were a success, that they actually already went to 65,000 feet, that there are secret investors etc... etc... etc...
You know, the same type stuff we've been hearing from you and others for years now...
I know, I know, it's just the Kool-aid talking...
