It said all the parties, including the FCC and Justice Department, consented to the filing of the brief. Mobile Future intends to file an amicus brief in support of CTIA and AT&T, its motion filed Monday said.

Mobile Future said it was "impractical" for it to join with other parties in an amicus brief.
