Both Telecordia and UL are test houses that can deal with
NEBS testing. Telcordia has probably been at it longer than UL and used to
be a part of MA Bell, and then Bell Labs. UL in the last couple of years has
been putting on NEBS seminars at which all of the RBOC's Bell Atlantic, US
West, SWB, and all of the others were panelist. UL hosted it and Telecordia
was in the crowd with the rest of us. During these seminars if anyone was to
take a more stringent interpretation or to add requirements not in the NEBS
documents that tended to be Bell Atlantic.
The timing of these two seminars sounds a whole lot political to me,
and that may be much more interesting than who hosts the conference. In
particular when you consider that the NEBS 2000 requirements have been a bit
of a political football, with Bell Atlantic in particular not wanting
manufacturing input into the standard. The stated reason was they felt it
would slow the process down. Certainly, a possibility but I would encourage
you to draw you own conclusions.
If there isn't something else afoot here then I would point out that
I would much rather be in Las Vegas in October than Baltimore.
