I'm rather surprised that any amateur would dismiss the BPL initiative,

"crying wolf". Most of you have a search engine and I suggest you look up
the
studies done to date on the effect of BPL on the HF and low VHF spectrum. I
particularly suggest checking the results of tests in Japan. And take a look
at the relevant articles in the Web Extra section of the ARRL website.
If you don't want to contribute money to the ARRL's efforts to fight the
BPL initiative, then may I suggest you look up the comments filed on 03-104
and
file some well thought out reply comments; we have until 6 August.

BPL is bad for Amateur radio operations. Anyone who speculates that it
won't be as bad as they say, then does nothing and waits for it to
happen and then finds out there's a high, broadband noise on your
favorite band it'll be too late. Once it's in place you'll have a very
tough uphill fight to do something about it.
Sorry, but there is no excuse for being complacent, (thats a nice way to
say sitting on your dead ass and doing nothing because you're
satisfied).
ARRL is our voice in Washington. Every other special interest group has
a contact in Washington, then why shouldnt we.
If you value ham radio then you should support the ARRL.
