SETI and Timing

1. SETI took their array offline back in April - supposedly due to lack of funds.
2. Just at this time, astronomers were discovering vast numbers of habitable planets.
3. These planets are largely in our general galactic neighborhood.
4. SETI will be bringing their array back online shortly.

Why this timing? What could have been happening during this outage?
Clearly this must be a case of coordination rather than coincidence - the question is:
Who would benefit from such an orchestrated down-time?

Expect more revelations in the near future as our Area 51 observation post will be working around the clock as we seek the answers to the questions we don't dare ask with echelon always listening in.
