Rep Michael Ross, WD5DVR, of Arkansas, has introduced a resolution in the US
House of Representatives calling on the FCC to "conduct a full and complete
analysis" of radio interference from broadband over power line (BPL). The
resolution, H. Res 230, says the Commission should comprehensively evaluate
BPL's interference potential incorporating "extensive public review and
comment," and--in light of that analysis--to "reconsider and review" its new
BPL rules. If approved by the full House, the non-binding resolution,
introduced April 21, would express the requests as "the sense of the House
of Representatives." The FCC adopted rules to govern so-called Access BPL
last October 14 in ET Docket 04-37.
