Isoclima in isolation

Possibly one of the most telling licensees REFR has in its stable is Isoclima SpA of Italy. They are unique in that they have taken two seperate SPD-related licenses, one to produce film, and the other to sell products containing SPD film.

Given that Isoclima has clearance to work both ends of the process, they are unique in being a potentially independent supplier of SPD products. They can make the film, "sell" it to themselves, and make it into products without having to depend on anyone else to be a supply chain or vendor for them.

Yet, nearly three years after setting all this up, Isoclima has yet to announce any kind of SPD product. Indeed their products page still includes glass with a liquid crystal film (Isolite), as well as a window with a built-in Venetian blind (Luxaclair) -- the very kind of things that the SPDiots claim are the horse-and-buggy to SPD's automobile.

Yet, while Alberto Bertolini seems to do nothing apart from show up at most major REFR events (annual meetings and whatnot), that appears to be good enough for most of the Type 3 crowd to presume he's hard at work making SPD into a major force.

I only wish I could be thought of so highly for taking an overseas vacation.
