It's true that the document has no weight when it comes to the actual release date. The FCC doesn't give a damn when the product is launched, if ever. But why would you give such a date unless you expected to actually launch the product by that date? It may be possible to request in the future that the documents be kept confidential until some later date, but it's got to be a pain in the ass to monitor all the applications and do that. If anything, I'd expect a confidentiality request to use a date later than the expected release date. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
