This is the perfect outcome for the company profits. Now they can sell a bunch of GM mosquitos each 18 months. A bug for the consumers, a feature for the developers.

Not really; if the new, hybrid population of mosquitoes have learned to discriminate against the gene-carrying males, then new releases won't work -- unless it's with another gene, maybe, but that would probably take more than 18 months to make.
