Default BPL in California

If this means anything I for one don't think the life of the BPLOSAURUS
is going to be a long one. Too many other kick ass ways of getting
signals down the toob. 60Hz power lines are just that. It's no wonder
repeaters are needed every so often as the article relates. Coax,
glass fiber, wifi-cellular, satcom, and technologies like this are what
we're all after. Services like fast scan videophone and movies on
demand are almost here. They aint gonna be goin down the power lines
though.

Don't just sit around waiting for this dinosaur to become extinct by
itself. Help out wherever you can. Make noise as Mr Telemon said. I
don't know if a link was posted (by Telemon) to make comments to. ARRL
is fighting as well and that takes money. Some people don't like ARRL,
but I don't know if any other orgs fighting. Anybody??? Hell, I would
order BPL just to figure out a good way to jam it. And those BPL
boxes are really obvious. Like a big red bulbous zit on the end of
your nose. I'm not advocating messing with BPL boxes here. Heheh.
