Since I don't care whose electricity bucks you are trying to save, let's get real simple here...
How many iLon electricity controllers widgets are needed in a given factory, in Europe? More needed in Germany than in France? Kuala Lumpur than in Helsinki?

How many factories need iLonwidgets as opposed to consumer who need iLonwidgets? i.e., the potential size of each market "segment?" in each of these nations?

If one is looking for growth, then one is looking for growth. Maybe they need electricity savings in the prison population centers over there more than they do for factors, and THAT is the place they should sell the most of them.

Looks to me like consumers would outnumber factories about 500:1 in the widget consuming category. And "consumers" would outnumber prisons by maybe 4000:1

Point is: no one is really sure who needs these things and whose buying these things and where these things are going, except people are all stoked up about saving electricity costs.

Maybe iLonwidgets need to be used in the expensive electrically controlled expensive petrol stations.

This electricity monitoring angle is a weak argument from where I'm sitting, and does NOT justify a $37 per share price tag.

cheers back atcha again only this time, I'm hittin' the sack...and will turn off my light the good old fashioned way..with my non-iLON compliant fingers and thumb...you see, my clap on-clap off clapper dealie is broken<g>
