Hmm... it looks like they've requested expedited service.  Of course,
this *is* the FCC we're talking about.  Even expedited, I figure
it will take at least a year or two.  We'll see.

Not too surprising that the NCVEC filed this.  The code test does
inconvenience them a lot.  Actually, what surprised me was that
No Code International (http://www.nocode.org/) didn't file
it.  (To stay at least on topic a little bit, one of the founders of
NCI is Bruce Perens - K6BP :).

Cheers,
Tanner

  This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source
  people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security
  threat. -- Bruce Sterling
