I have "heard" for a while that IOC is working on more than one deal, though the E/A deal is expected to be the first one and is the most important and is basically independent of any other deal(s). I asked WA a while back if IOC would speak of other deals in the future (from when I asked) and he laughed and acknowledged that their experience in announcing the E/A deal updates had been so bad, that they would not announce the status of other deals. Therefore, Cyber, I think you should not expect official IOC announcements on other deals being negotiated, but just have them announced when completed.
