"[Cape Town | ITWeb, 19 May 2005] - The second national operator's (SNO's) business plan is ready and the shareholders' agreement will be completed in the next few days for licensing by the regulator. This is according to minister of communications Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri, delivering the Department of Communications' budget speech in Parliament this afternoon."

Maybe she meant the next few week/months/years?
 
Does the SNO not have a spokesperson? It would be good if we could be kept in the loop with regards to any kind of developments with telskom's competition!!
 
oh for the time and resources to compile a full list of things promised by when as against date of actual delivery (if ever)....mebbe this kind of story where the Minister says something is imminent or promises a date can be flagged/stuck - everything moves so fast that it is excellent to be reminded of the promises/undertakings that are made and dishonoured

I found a news article dated July 2004 the other day that said licencing was imminent - perhaps she doesnt know what imminent means.....
 
always bearing in mind it was meant to be licensed in 2002...

/excerpt for The Official Politician's Dictionary of Usefully Vague Terms
"imminent" - recommended for frequent use....means "anytime really, imminence itself being a relative concept"...for example...if it was imminent in 2002 well how much more imminent must it be now.
