Nuvio told the court it could file a brief by Sept. 6, suggesting the FCC then could file by Sept. 27. Meanwhile, the FCC said it received 3 petitions for reconsideration of the VoIP order -- from CompTel, T- Mobile and a joint filing by the National Emergency Number Assn. and the VON Coalition. The FCC said oppositions to the recon petitions must be filed within 15 days of the date the petitions get printed in the Federal Register. The 3 reconsideration petitions were filed July 29.
