Without this basic availability, no companies that would build on top of it could even start.

Hopefully this news triggers a wave of new investment built on hype with a few companies that actually succeed, enabling another platform for even more new innovations.

Has the band gap issue been worked out?
I just read through their website, they claim it has, using the heading 'configurable':

``` The capability to control graphene layer properties defines its usefulness for the desired application. Whether this be physical (mechanical strength, porosity, thickness of stacked layers), electrical (conductivity, carrier density, band gap availability) or otherwise (thermal conductivity, transparency, flexibility). ```
