Michael, Thank you for raising this issue. We were waiting for the Deatailed Feasibility Study before we engage the stakeholders. We now have the report. We are getting the financial arranger in place in a week's time then a series of stakeholder meetings to decide on the model that would be more applicable. In the Meantime, tomorrow Wednesday January 31, 2007, we sign the Marine Survey Contract with Tyco Telecommunications and announce the schedule for the project. End of February we receive the Detailed Technical Study and award the supply contract. As stated in various fora the Government is only facilitating here and the owners of the cables would be the private sector. The function tomorrow is public and will be held at our conference room on the 9th Floor stating at 2pm.
