All of the parties we are dealing with know these "possible" facts. Any
of them can do the same. My doing it solves nothing. In the end they
have to make the receivers. I have mentioned this to each of them with
little reaction. I think there is more to it than just switching chips.
For example I have asked for another prototype like the one last summer
so we could compare the new receivers we are testing at the same time.
As Mark says things are different now. It seems difficult for this to
be produced.
