if a company needs a product, and the product is expensive, difficult to find or manufacture, and they find that product, having determined that they would benefit from it, knowing that it is of sufficient quantityquality from a reliable and stable environment........ they would then seek to shore it up for themselves. As delays take place for a variety of reasons, I might suggest that some delays behind the scenes could be of a financing/alliance basis. I suspect that, as others have stated, interested parties probably know all they need to know and any wait is protocol based on best practices and responsibility to their investors. We wait to see.
