David P. -- thanks for the email Question: Has Brooks confirmed that Gigamux is "approved" for deployment? I know for a fact that the "test" of the Gigamux at the Brooks lab was only a publicity stunt staged by Osicom. Osicom paid the Brooks-affiliated lab for use of its test equipment and, at the time of the (fraudulent) press release, Brooks had no corporate relationship with FIBR. (The NASA lab, Dynacs, told me the same story.) Also is there any proof that this RTC and BBV are real? Please reply.
