Sulasailor: News releases or Conference Calls require a significant degree of communication between the principals involved, who themselves have other agendas, quality control to check off the content and an approval sign off process of possibly several iteration to achieve a final version.

Good post, Sulasailor! Of course Suresh and his gang know this, but the time those preparations require are clearly a disruption (pun intended) of their actual business. The latter will have certain time constraints, too, so they'll have to set priorities.

I am still hoping for an update in January (yes, January this year).
