... Perhaps once I've finished reading their patents later on this afternoon I'll know more about how they plan to address this matter.

I read the European patent app last evening. It read like a patent for AMPS cellular of 1982 substituting 'light' for 'RF.'

What I don't think I saw was any technology breakthrough. But what I know of optics would maybe fill a thimble.

I am looking forward to your opinion.
