As far as PR from Siemens....really just some wishful thinking on the thread, not something FNTN or Siemens has even mentioned, to my knowledge.
The meeting doesn't sound like a non-meeting. It sounds like they simply did what they said they were going to do, and nothing more.
I'm curious...what kind of mileage do they think they'll get out of an advertisement on CNBC? I think they'll be better served by taking that same $$ and putting it into the sales effort (and when will they bring in the sales gunslinger, by the way? Where is he/she???). They aren't anywhere near being able to comfortably handle the costs of television advertising at the level at which it would be effective, so I'm a tad concerned that they even mentioned such a thing. Frankly, it's a damned silly idea, at this point in their growth, and would be a complete waste of funds, IMO, unless they could commit a large amount of money to an actual advertising campaign....which, according to their own financials they can't, by any stretch of the imagination or pocketbook. Dumb idea, IMO...on the OTHER hand, if they could get someone to , say, interview them regarding distance learning, intranet technology and the future of enterprise...something along those lines...that would play...paying for that exposure just isn't in the budget....
