Just because that's how long it takes doesn't mean businesses find it acceptable.
Are you saying if you rang telstra to get phone lines installed and they told you
it would take a month before they could do something about it you wouldn't feel
the least bit annoyed that you want something and have to wait for so long?

In my experience in different business related fields, yesterday isn't fast enough
once a company decides it wants something. Even when the guidelines are adhered to
there are always grey-area applications. I've registered domains where I was amazed
that it was rejected and other where I was pleasantly surprised that they were 
accepted...
