Is Zi being priced for its potential in China, or is there some assumption that there is a big market for this in European languages, etc.? My assumption has been that the market's focus is still on the ideographic languages, starting with Chinese.

If there is anything like a reasonable royalty rate on the Chinese phones alone, the stock is still undervalued. Of course, we still don't know the royalty rate, so there is still risk.

Re the "gorilla game" aspect vs. Tegic: The European languages are a separate market, imo. Their position there will have little impact on the Asian scene. Conversely, Zi's position in China won't really help it gain business in the Romance languages.

Best,
