Update on Monticello – kind of

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.)

  1. Hmm, judging by the order at the link you posted above, it appears that TIA has withdrawn from the case and NOT NATOA.

  2. You’re right! Thank you!! This is why I quit working in law libraries. Three documents in and I can’t see straight.

    It actually looks as if the NATOA may have submitted the Amicus yesterday although there isn’t a link to the document yet:

    I appreciate you taking the time to set me straight!! I’ll try to look back next week for the document.
