Don, First applications to be submitted in February. New licences replace old licences in September. There are six months from March to August. That makes eight months in all (albeit counting inclusively, which is good enough maths for PR people.) Consequently the 8 months may just be the planned period from first to second appointed day. On the other hand if Maidstone think that it may take them until May 2006 to complete the initial issue there wil indeed be utter chaos. I hope that you have overheard some unclear woolly briefing. Richard.
