The reason was cost of replacement batteries.(MMT vs. S1)In September 2010 Jimmie sent an email to Bill Stanger, President of GPOR, who was a former SLB executive and secured a meeting. Found out they were leaning towards Skybitz and we made the case for the MMT.In December we were notified that we had been chosen as the vendor for a full rollout but that the funding for the project was not approved.In Q1 2011 we worked to get a 3 unit pilot started with motion-based reporting.
