The Gates foundation want things to happen now. If they believe in this technology and they don't see anything as good or better on the horizon then they will want to buy this company. I hope royalties, ideas of taking the company private, or anything else doesn't get in the way of a sale of the company. With limited resources to advance the technology, this is it!
IMO we will know very soon if there is any future with the Gates Foundation. The share price in the next month or so will be a strong indicator.
If this is the gold standard tech then Bret makes or breaks the deal. Eight years ago I was hoping for $10.00 now $1.00 would be awesome.
Patents run out.
