Each of the Rossi competitors are taking turns claiming some spotlight time, some for fictional "advancements" and some for the granting of partial patents for a process with a known very very poor COP.
Issue with all of them is they ARE NOT NEARLY READY TO SELL ANYTHING ..... and unless Rossi stubs his toe quite badly the competitors are a year to 2 years behind Rossi and will tend to stay that way.
Look for a Chinese competitor to start selling an illegal copied Rossi Rig sometime or another domestically inside China within the next year. Chinese industrial espionage is notorious and it is known they have been digging away at learning all of Rossi's process secrets.
Brillouin is not above a 3 COP at this time unless they want to try to use some of the forbidden Rossi lithium tech that Industrial Heat shared with them and
thus get their asses sued off by Rossi's legal team.
Randal Mills and Brilliant Light Power's longest run before melting it all down again was 12 minutes ..... so, The Brilliant Light Sun Cell is not really a practical product while it is still stuck at that sort of self-destructing performance level.
Rossi currently has a technical lock on things that will last a year or so, let's see what he can do with that initial lead before his secrets get re-discovered and widely disseminated.
Rossi has laid in plans that go past his lifetime so expect his company and his partners to continue on even if somebody does manage to cap Rossi or give him some new forms of cancer or whatever.
===================================================
Some of Rossi's critics have worked together with some of his boosters to translate the garbled gibberish into a written transcript that both sides agree is the best interpretation of the Rossi Speak presentation to date.
The fact that the opposing camps can AGREE on what was said is the transcript's best "proof of accuracy" .......

Norwegian countries have other voices to listen to, distributor based communications given out in their own languages. In these local areas, based on distributor communications, some folks who are at the true large industrial end of things will supposedly be buying steam from Rossi devices at discounts of 30 to 50 percent, depending upon individual volume/time agreements.
These are larger wholesale agreements on a truly large industrial volume basis.
Heating Energy Costs in Scandinavian countries are VERY LARGE compared to heating costs inside the USA (especially in the deep South near Florida).
These Scandinavian agreements are not puny retail sized agreements.Since these proposed multi-reactor Rossi plants are MUCH LARGER and are likely have 5x or more times the improved raw COP numbers (they are running 5-10 reactors off a single controller box after all) compared to the single reactor single controller USA installation.
These Scandinavian industrial sized implementations all run for much longer durations of time during the long sunless Scandinavian winters so one can understand the potentially differing pricing discount percentages that are being discussed by the Scandinavian distributors.
The point here is that normal negotiating techniques and normal local market forces are in play against these Rossi Scandinavian distributor's "provide some commercial heat" agreements. Rossi's distributors are taking in initial offers and are making up some enticing deals in return.
===================================================
Question then becomes, will Rossi actually provide all the hardware and the web-based maintenance connection off a discounted distributor order and will Rossi be satisfied with the yet again reduced (by the distributor's profit margin) much smaller amounts of money the distributors will actually send on to him in exchange for his equipment and maintenance service?

Past relationships and history between Rossi and his distributors is VERY SPOTTY at best, historically.
Rossi has no problem permanently cutting off a distributor who cannot obey his rules and he has done so repeatedly in the past.
Industrial Heat actually quietly bought up all these failed Rossi distributorships that existed at one particular point in time for peanuts on the dollar simply to clear the air (and in their mind to achieve their total monopoly over Rossi Tech) because nothing was ever sold by those errant distributors because nothing was ever built and supplied by Rossi for them to ship at the sub-Rossi approved prices.
Rossi has indeed royally screwed over
dozens of distributors over the years ...... some could say they deserved that screwing for what they were doing to screw him first though.

Big question ..... Distributors
and Rossi actually honoring these reduced pricing deals that the distributors have made. The Answer to this important question is upcoming sometimes this year, with lawsuits to follow if needed.
