<< Which tends to command higher profit margins in this field, product or service? >>

Good question, I don't know the answer. What I did notice though in the latest income statement is that RATL increased their service revenues but the cost of service revenues staid pretty much the same... What could be the reason for this? All service people now trained? More profitable projects being pursued by the service force?

Maybe RATL indeed can leverage the service side more if they "give away" the basic product more cheaply.

greetings from a very pleased

Thomas
