Default BPL as posted about a day or so ago

A day or so ago - someone posted some information presuming that "experts"
claim that CB/HAM will interfere with BPL. "I" stated in reply - I had heard
quite the opposite - that CB/Ham AND 2 way radio services used by Public
Safety and so on were "suggested" to be the ones to be interfered with.

HERE is an excerpt released just today - read it. The FCC is taking action
to make sure that BPL DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH EXISTING SERVICES.
Now, maybe the FCC isn't the greatest thing next to God or plug in your own
highly acclaimed person/item/agency of choice - but here in the US - they DO
set the laws and standards for RF transmissions.

FCC ADOPTS MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER ON BROADBAND OVER POWER LINES
TO PROMOTE BROADBAND SERVICE TO ALL AMERICANS. The Commission affirmed
its rules for Access Broadband Over Power Lines (Access BPL) Systems
while maintaining safeguards against harmful interference to existing
radio services. News Release. (Dkt No 03-104 ,
