Geoffrey, Even if they wanted to and thought they could get away with it, how do you copy a product that requires KVH's proprietary "D" optical fiber that only KVH makes, and only inhous, and doesn't sell to anyone? That fiber and it's entire process is covered by many patents and represents well over a decade of research. The FOGs require proprietary Polarity Maintaining (PM) fiber. If you somehow avoided all the patents, bought some lower quality PM fiber somewhere and built a product, it would take a long time to do, cost more and have inferior technical specs.
