No. It is a somewhat euphemistic form of saying: Sunrise and Padial didn't
want to talk about this with us at all!

They hadn't been given green light to publish that information back then.
They did have some information to this subject, however, which they wanted
to tell everybody in a speech. The fair in Tilburg, however, wasn't really
the right spot to give such a speech. It's hard to get the attention of
people who are moving between all the different rooms over which the fair
was divided.

Well, at least there is one thing that makes things a lot more comfortable
to deal with: the Japanese don't really care whether the Europeans BELIEVE
the news they send or not :). But it should ofcourse be nice if the
Europeans gave their support or something like that.
