I find it hard to believe that any major company would make the same mistake now that PRU made so recently, and in a less volatile situation than this.
With all the money paid to advisors etc, it can't be too difficult to make sure you have the votes that matter in the bag before firing the starting gun, rather than losing massive credibility for such a basic lack of communication.
Then there is the conspiracy theory, that perhaps the big guys SAID they would back it and some do not now intend to.
I often say that just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get me.
Interesting times indeed
