(...) Yes there are LEGO Ambassadors, I am one. We are under NDA so we are very limited in what we can say without permission. If we recieve permission to release information we do so immediately. I honestly can't say what the official status of the (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)

The silence from LEGO since Jake's departure has been deafening. Jake's blog used to be my first stop in my daily web news crawl. But since the keynote at BrickFest ((URL) there has been very little solid news about the IR train system and the LEGO (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)
