The next delay seems to be with the electronics. Everybody is going to make their own control mechanism for now and while this doesn't seem like a complex piece of equipment, it is something that needs to be mass produced as well.
I still find it unusual that a non-secret technology is not being marketted in any coming soon brochures. Not necessarily to the public directly but at least at the wholesale level. There is something holding this process up. Maybe it is only the film supply. We should know the answer to that by Jan after Hanglass' bigger factory has been running for a month. I don't recall seeing any numbers on volume of film produced to date or how much they have scheduled for the month of December in the new plant. That would be useful and I don't like the fact that they haven't disclosed it. Full capacity is said to be 4M sq ft/yr. While that is serious, will even full production at this facility bring REFR to the profitability discussed? So this plant only gets us started.

I will certainly feel better when Asensio puts out an apology letter - LOL!
