Let me put it this way. If there is no collaboration, it would have to be an extremely compelling project for us to go forward on a high-risk project with 100% of our own funding. We have done that when we can make the technical argument that it's worth it. The proprietary fibre I mentioned is an example of that. That was 100% internal because we knew that we were on to something special and we didn't want to share it with anyone, and we could afford to develop it.
In the other IFIT projects I've mentioned, we're typically in the 15% to 25% range of initial project costs. This is worth noting. The projects that have long-term appeal are strategically important in the promise. We will continue to fund long after the original supported project has been written off and completed. We are in the middle of that. Once we get the ball rolling and start to show positive results, we can carry it from there. It isn't so much the money as it is the willingness to get started and accept that.
In that respect, I would say that government support is really critical for starting these projects. Once these projects get rolling, if they have merit, we will mostly continue them on our own.
