For an investor, "due diligence" would involve trying to discover whether this incumbency inertia can be overcome. As opposed to sussing out perceived possible dots out in the vapor mirage.

I want to read all I can about acceptance, or lack thereof, of Wave's products. Not so much some technical detail.

Maybe I don't know what DD means? Shocked

Dig, ROFLMAO. And, as Burt Reynolds said to Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit all those years ago: "Do the letters F.O. mean anything to you?" Wink

Svenm points to it yet again.

If even the DoD cannot implement stronger security against the forces of incumbency, it's time to forget it. The holding pattern will continue forever.

Then we can finally say that existing revenue streams, customer relationships and political connections trump technological innovation and efficiency. Sad, but this may be the name of the game.

Certainly hard to argue sensibly that the obstacles don't matter. Even a failed sort of incumbency is almost impossible to dislodge.
