That is what I heard (implied) too. If not today, in a reasonably foreseeable future. Remember, this is not an issue today, only weirdos such as the c'punks care today. The govies move slowly. They are setting the stage for tomorrow.
It is clear that this meeting is a shame. Everyone in industry A shame certainly, but I suspect you meant 'sham' (not a spelling flame, the difference in meaning is important).
Sorry for the typo, yes, I meant sham, fake, theater, all smoke and mirrors, nothing sincere, etc. See reference to "stage" above. All typos are mine.
