One of the companies on that journey is Los Angeles-based Carbonics (www.carbonics.com), which is taking technology developed in the labs of USC and UCLA, and bringing it to use in the wireless semiconductor market. They are very few and far between, partially because the demand is not out there. So those resources have been fantastic.

There is no real room for negotiation, or to let demand drive the pricing on the buyer side. When I graduated from UCLA in 1999, I started working for an accounting firm. If you imagine, a promoter might manage Britney Spears in 50 cities, and all those cities have different demand and price points. That's where we come in.
