The ITU requirement for a code test was dropped on July 5th, 2003, so
evidently a majority around the world agree with you. I think the FCC
will drop it, but they move at a snail's pace. I didn't think it would
survive for as long as a year after it was no longer needed, but it's
only nine months so far, so I could still be right.


Likely the FCC brearucracy just hasn't gotten around to it yet. They
have bigger fish to
fry, and will likely get to it when there's nothing better to do.



Sad but true. You only have to look at their home page to see where we are
in their priorities, i.e. not even on their radar atall.
