IMHO, a deal will be struck just before or shortly after we file for arbitration. There is just too much at stake for so many parties. VZ has said before their desire not to go to arbitration.

The last move by CVG may be their way of communicating the need to modify the contract. I also wonder if there was any interference from Rusoro, given their recent comments.

Is it also remotely possible that some bureaucratic bungling happened, may be even deliberately, for so many reasons talked about here, including opportunity to buy cheaper shares.

I don't think we will have to wait too long.
