I appreciate y'all citing that ex parte brief of mine to the FCC.  I
have not been paying much attention to what's going on in the EU of
late, and would appreciate a brief on what's happening there now.

I will be at netdevconf and IETF in prague march 16th-31st, and still
have a few spare bunks on the houseboat if anyone going needs a place to
crash. Otherwise, I could make a detour to berlin, afterwards.
