Certainly finance will not be an issue with NEC / USA companies to fulfil any necessary programs to achieve goals, this is probably what Francesco was hinting at with the industry 'step change' that could be brought about. Even if we achieve the algorithms to do so we will need the necessary muscle to put into operation. NEC are probably excited at possibly being able to outgun Intel with a system that should have come out of their own back yard.
If it is QBT, and listening to FG's terminology I genuinely believe it is, then NEC will not 'let' anyone else steal their position and should move heaven and earth in securing a deal with us, even if it means they will make us an offer we can't refuse!
