Right now and under the new power level proposal, BPL must meet Part 15.
This means that it legally cannot cause interference to any authorized or
licensed radio service and must accept interference from any authorized or
licensed radio service. Therefore any problems in BPL must be resolved on
the BPL side under current regulations. It would require changes in both
Part 15 and Part 97 to restrict operations around BPL areas.


Yes, that's the question. If a currently legal amatuer radio operator could
shut down high speed internet access for a given area, is there any reason
the FCC couldn't change it's current regulations, and put in new
restrictions on amateur radio?


Plus don't
forget the non-ham spectrum users. The FCC will have a heck of a time
telling commercial AM radio, FM radio, and over-the-air TV broadcasters to
shut down.

I'm sure the FCC wouldn't restrict any of that. The TV networks, radio
networks and all the people who watch and listen won't let them.
