spokeshave - If the evaluators like it. Why wouldn't they invest in it. Depending on who NVEI is dealing with, I don't think its farfetched for these companies to put up the cash. The pockets may not be as deep as before but if the chip set is as hot as NVEI says it is they (telco) will find the money to invest. Be nice if one just offeres to buy the company...
And I agree the dilution to fund this would be very hurtful...
