"Hopefully" is the correct term as we have learned over the last six
years or so.
I have had two companies tell me they would build 5th gen receivers only
to have them both change their minds or whatever. This company is
confused but at least they are sending a prototype and willing to talk.
Never had this problem with COFDM manufacturers, all they ask is how
many and when. Since "when" is still up in the air that is a problem.
