What if I don't want BPL signals on my house wiring, which I own,

I don't have that problem. My disclaimer is that I'm not "your"

HAW!!

Seems to me that the first thing you'd have to do is *prove* that the BPL is
causing you "harmful interference". Then you'd have to let the BPL providers
do
whatever they can to reduce or eliminate it - and FCC expects you to show
"good
faith" and cooperate with them. And even if the interference is not
eliminated,
FCC may or may not force the BPL folks to do anything about it besides
trying
to solve the problem.


Nah - that's a solution to a different problem.


I see your point - I was addressing the problem if interference did actually
happen.

What he wanted is for them to keep the signals out of his house on
demand. PERIOD. No reason need be given.


That's a different bucket of worms.


Yup.

Kinda like the person who objected to the installation of the cable TV coax on
the poles at the front of his property. His objection was that the cable
carried stuff like the "Playboy Channel". Never mind that he wasn't a cable
subscriber, and that the pole line easements predated his ownership of the
property - he didn't want his property used to distribute such programs in any
way!

Of course you can guess how much legal water that objection held...
