this is lifted from my post of 29-3-11

I spent an hour today on the phone talking to Campbell Smith and have come away more confident than ever about the future of Pie.

A couple of quick points, Pie entered onto an exclusive agreement with Telstra for a four month trial of 50 web phones late last year then on 23 November announced deployment of the first 2 phones at Darwin Airport with a further 48 to roll out across the country, while not specifically stated it is a fair assumption that if the test is for 50 phones the test period will commence once all 50 have been deployed, Campbell confirmed that to me today so with the last phone installed end Jan 2011 the trial can run to end May 2011 with a further 30 days before the expiry of the exclusivity period.

I got the feeling Campbell does not expect the Telstra trial to drag on and risk expiry of the exclusive period so an announcement could come anytime from now on.
