Seems to be both on-topic, and timely, given the start of NANOG62 is =
tomorrow (or today for some).
As I mentioned elsewhere, if the FCC asked both companies to provide =
info and both companies did not provide the info, delaying the merger =
180 days is actually a pretty minor penalty. When I don't give the gov't =
what they want, I usually get a far harsher punishment than "no problem, =
we'll give you more time".
