I disagree OSMO. I think Kry knows exactly what is going on whether the deal closes in the 4th quarter or not.

The first time line of end of July was for the A&F Agreement and was given to Kry by the lawyers. Kry made the time line public and it was missed.

Kry made the next time line for the 4th quarter which we were told was a softer target. Instead of a date it was the whole quarter. The quarter isn't over yet but I do agree that this won't close in the 4th quarter. That doesn't mean Kry doesn't know what is going on.

If we are correct and everything is done on Kry's end then they have to wait for VZ and China to complete their end. Kry has no control over the time line. VZ and China are 2 sovereign countries that are not going to be influence by us saying "but you said 4th quarter".

I will say it one more time. Hugo wants this to be a deal between China and VZ. Hugo wants to make a big deal out of this with photo opps. IMHO the permit will be issued when Jintao goes to VZ and meets with Hugo. I thought it would be done When Hugo went over seas (my oct. 15 guess) but Jintao couldn't meet with him.

No matter how much we want this to be done there is simply nothing we can do but wait until Jintao and Hugo meet IMHO!
