Quote:This is a DRAFT NGSW PON only and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal or a commitment by the U.S. Government.

Same paragraph 4 states
Quote: "A formal NGSW PON release will be subject to availability of funds and new start authority."
So, while I can see why some folks are getting spun up, the Fed has committed to nothing, at this point.
