Its taken 2 years so far. Any bets the SNO will take another 2?

I like these parts:
"...there is an attitude of ‘if I don't get my way, I'll delay the process for everyone'" [xx(]
and
"The only loser in the present situation is the SA consumer." [:(!]

Isn't this so typical of Africa? I mean look at Cell C - also two years overdue. Likewise with SNO and further delays to come.
Also look at the issues surrounding Vodacom's efforts to get into Nigeria. Inevitable when there is this much money at stake...
