FACT: The Cedar Rapids deployment has a WLAN link from the pole. The
wires carry the 2-80 MHz. How does that go from 2-80 MHz --into-- the house?

Myopic views and a redefined issue to suit self serving logic solves
nothing. To this point it should be obvious that solutions are not
being solicited - as the administration and lobbyists see it, there is
no problem.

FACT: Sure, if you drive your 1972 Nova with 'HAM ON BOARD' sticker

The standard industrial-political complex branding of targets of
interest.

Based on assumption, the number of hams affected nation wide is
in the hundreds.

I'm not sure where you come up with the assertion that the number of hams
affected is "in the hundreds."

Such challenges are typically deflected by those entitled to revenue
enhancements (more properly known as the Wall Street Welfare State).

FACT: The press has used this exchange, in many circumstances, to view us with
the jaundiced eye of being anti-technology and very out of date.
"The press" feeds on controversy and frequently distorts things - at best in
the interest of making the story more "sensational, at the worst because
they have taken sides and have their own agenda to promote rather than
objectively and dispassionately reporting the facts.

I'm not sure which is worse, this contrivance of the "press" as a foil
(more static than signal); or the disconnect with the FCC's puppet
activities in the broader scope of aggregating media into fewer and
fewer hands. If the quote above is a complaint outside of this former
thread's narrow special interest, it should be obvious that this "new"
problem has been cultivated by the administration's puppet master
activity. With the balkanization of grievances, no one is worrying
about the greater systemic poisoning.

The stale right wing gasp of the threat of liberal media is out dated
and has been a wheeze for nearly two decades. They have been using
this eviscerated rag doll as a punching bag for so long, that all of
the stuffing has been scattered to the winds and it is simply a
tattered scrap of cloth whipping in the wind. Perhaps the right
whiners are complaining of rug burn as their limp wrists get caught up
in the shreds.

I've been following this silly notion of petitioning the FCC for
redress in just one particular - BPL - when the problem is obvious on
the face of it: complete indifference from the outset due to the
larger scope issues. Why do they have to listen anyway? How would
you know if they did? We have just one advantage over the Reds who
allowed their comrades to offer protest - we save money by not sending
them to the Gulags. The discount for ignoring these "comments"
outweighs the construction costs alone. [However, now that we are
embarked on no-bid contracts (that same Welfare State again), then
that may soon re-vitalize industries that the right wing has mined
from the communist economic model.]

The entire mandate of the Communication Act of 1932 has been set out
on the curb for pick-up and if it doesn't impact a QSO, I doubt if
there would be any ruffled feathers here.

Such provincialism is self castration. Looking out for
your(our)self(selves) and the Devil take the rest is a myopic attitude
guaranteed to eliminate future generations.
