my take is that the board has been working hard on the options but just haven't announced anything until there is something to announce which I believe is the correct action to take. the recent developments from the wa cowboys kind of forced their hands to say "look things have been moving in the background", but to me this is unusual. for example they have now said they are in due diligence for a specific technology but if they announce this to the market, the the due diligence identifies serious issues that mean they don't want to proceed then people will be upset because they got their hopes up...

even if all goes quieter we now know there are things going on. I suspect the competitors would hold as well to try to make some money once a new direction is announced
