NTT's work on Linux will be done through OSDL's Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) working group. Here is a Dow Jones Business story was released yesterday based on the rumour that NTT was joining.

Did you hear that NTT joined with OSDL? They'll be working on our
Linux OS for all new projects! Obviously they have come to their
senses, email from "l337_d00dx0rzz@hotmail.com" said that NTT would
be sending us a large sum of money for licensing.

ps: we *could* use another $500 or $600K to make this month's payroll.

I'm confused
