Yes, we're still talking to people. We just got fairly overloaded with responses and a lot of them weren't clear which is why I posted up this message on the list a few days ago:

That way I can keep all these e-mails straight :) As we are firming up our plans, it looks like for the beta we'll probably just release the beta server files over HLDS and anyone can host a server if they want to. Originally we were planning to do something much smaller and just work directly with a few GSPs and trusted admins for the last phase of the beta. But to be quite frank the pre-sales for the game have been going so well it looks like we'll need WAY more servers than anticipated :) We're still solidifying how we'll handle ranked servers during the beta period as well so stay tuned for more info on that.
