Oh please, not again. This would make the third time in 5 years they've changed it at the last minute (once due to a similar "power crisis" and once due to the earthquake).

"Golborne said "that is being evaluated, is a subject that has a relatively low impact on consumption but may have a significant impact on communication and citizenship," he said."
