I reached Mihai on MSN Messenger and asked him about status, he indicated:
well i haven’t received the answers i am looking for from FB so i have no updates to post yet. I am leaving town tomorow and if i don’t get the replys i must delay the expected answer till 19th January when i will be back
So I guess everything is still up in the air for now. We will check in with him on the 19th to see if there is anything new to report.
