Funnily enough I was talking to the MEA about that today. Apparently 
the council of ministers still has to decide to allow them to go ahead 
and do it. They apparently have some SERIOUS bandwidth going off-island 
though.

My guess is MT is putting pressure on the politicians to not let them 
do it :/

(ObMTRant: MT are owned by O2 - but does that give us the customer any 
advantage when roaming across on O2's network? No, we get to pay 
outrageous roaming charges to use the same company's other network. The 
only people who benefit from MT belonging to O2 are some top 
executives).
