It appears the UPLC (United Powerline council) does not value people that
enjoy tube radios. This from a group of people that use glass
insulators and old wooden power poles to send hi-speed internet.

"The United Power Line Council (UPLC) forcefully replied to concerns ..."
Forcefully -- not truthfully or accurately but -- FORCEFULLY!
"... as well as promote broadband competition for consumers, carriers and
ISPs - saving lives, "
BPL saves lives! What could be more important than that?
"... ignore "armchair amateurs that still use vacuum tube transmitters" "
Ignore the power companies that still burn coal to make steam!
""BPL is an exciting technology with a promising future, but it's dependent
on the FCC to develop rules that will encourage companies to deploy
systems.."
No new rules are needed, because:
"...the risk of interference from BPL is extraordinarily low, ..."
Sounds like the Cranky Old Hams have struck a nerve!!
