The "notching" solution is simple: Their BPL system does not use
frequencies that are also ham bands. Whether it works or not is an open
question.
But how long will that last? Here in Israel we call it the "boiled lobster"
effect. A live lobster placed in a pot of cold water is happy. As the
water gets hotter it falls asleep. It never realizes it's being cooked.
This what will happen with BPL. By the time you realize that it's taken
over the ham bands, it will be too late. That's why I'm boycotting
Google, they with two other companies invested $100,000,000 in BPL.
