let the race begin, page-16

I thought this thread was a mischievous bait initially, but it turns out that SP3's last comment above this has sealed the reality of it all:

That they are all needed for infrastructure reason and have all added up to "an industry" which demands notice.
And it appears that all have a different race to run, and some of us have almost finished our particular race - which turns out to be a time-clock against the self, as it were.

Now the industry is ready for launch and todays conference will put the who's who in focus within the week in my opinion.

PS: although an agreement with Tincom and Esi may have been struck today, it doesn't mean it was compulsory to announce it until its ready to be realised on paper.
