Regarding Tom Bao's message about subject matter for the TREG, the original thought was to limit it to telecom matters, and more specifically, telecom regulatory. The idea was that so many changes continue to occur in world-side telecom regulation that it's too much for one person to follow adequately. So, it would be of mutual advantage among a group of telecom regulatory engineers to share what they learn. The fact that this group may work for companies that compete was resolved by the "informal contract" or TREG guidelines which specify that all info be from the public domain (although sometimes obscure or not circulated well).
Well, that was the theory anyway. TREG has suffered to some degree by its success! Subject matter far exceeds the original scope, sometimes to our detriment, and sometimes not (I really enjoyed the BBQ story from Vic, even though it had nothing to do with telecom). I guess my vote would be to continue to limit TREG's published scope to telecom, recognizing that sometimes EMC and safety information is relevant and helpful. -- Scott Roleson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Roleson, PE | Internet: [email protected] EMC & Telecom Engineer | http://www.WP.com/SRoleson San Diego Division MS 8-60 | Telephone: +1-619-655-4809 Hewlett-Packard Company | FAX: +1-619-655-5931 16399 W.
