REC Networks has filed comments in the FCC's inquiry regarding "Need for Speed" which includes the way that broadband providers promote their service speeds as well as set standards for much bandwidth particular applications consume.

REC's comments were related to our experiences with the recent facility move to Prescott Valley and the difficulty we received with Qwest provided service.

In the event of a government shutdown over the weekend, the FCC plans to take down their broadcast database system.

We have heard this will take place on Monday morning.

UPDATE: A new extension has been approved and should be signed by the President on Saturday. This would extend government activities until next Thursday. If it appears that we are looming another shutdown so late in the week, we will take an unscheduled database update to assure that we have the latest information before the government shuts down.
