PocketBook and Netronix are merging to form PocketBook Global.

I'm wondering whether this will have implications for Astak. I believe that Astak is partially owned by Netronix.
Will Netronix want to support two separate brands? Would it make more sense for them to focus on the PocketBook and drop the Astak brand? It is, after all, merely a rebadged Jinke; though has attracted some loyal adherents...
