Most likely the reason Mark is trying and i repeat trying to give it for free to colleges and universities is to have exposed to the public because contrary to his claim that phone is ringing off the hook no one is interested in it since no big company will take a chance when they can be dealing with Microsoft,Google and Zoom and so many other proven company.
Some of his PRs are for new investors to get them excited and invest and i have to say he has done a very good job in the last 20 years.
We got screwed and the tres amigos got rich.
