The news in Monticello is that there is no news. Earlier this month I reported that both the FTTH Council and NATOA  had been granted permission to present their viewpoint by submitting Briefs (limited to 20 pages). Well this month they have both backed off that option because some members of the association have urged it not to take a position in this matter.

(Update: Thanks to a careful reader for pointing out that the TIA dropped out, not the NATOA. It looks as if they may have filed the Amicus on Jan 23, although it’s not yet available online.)
