Porscha, yet another possibility - dual track release of the tech, for business and consumer, differing s/d according to their respective needs.
I know that mgmt has indicated that their initial efforts will be directed towards business, yet if the tech achieves what is needed by consumers and they can supply it without any further r/d (save the necessity for some field tests and the chip to be made), what might hold them back from such a decision? The money is there for the taking, s/p will escalate accordingly, and everyone's whistling on the way to the bank.
