I have considered the Gov't take-over as an influence on the move, however, I have rejected that line of reason. A decision of that magnitude has to be trialed for a length of time before it goes company-wide. It had to have been in the trial stage before the Gov't take-over. The Gov't would not move that quickly any way on a relatively new 'acquisition' - too many other considerations before SEDs hit the radar screen.
