From what I gathered from the investor call (someone please correct me if my understanding is wrong), the initial plan was to market the MPDD only in the US first. Recently the decision was made to go ahead with marketing outside of the US at the same time instead of waiting. I would imagine that this would cause some delays since a more extensive distribution network had to be set up from the onset. Not to mention that taking the product international means that you also have to make sure the product is in compliance with local laws, regulations, etc., which may be very different than the US.
I do agree that we should not be naive to the fact that the are loopholes when it comes to the restricted shares. Just because a company promises something one day, doesn't mean that the can never change their mind in the future!
