I suspect that will be the process. It's kind of hard to file suit against
something for causing interference if it's not causing interference yet.

The first case will be the test. The FCC stands to come out really looking
stupid here - licensing a service that will cause interference to another
FCC licensed service.
Exactly! How can the FCC allow known interference to occur to LICENSED
radio services? I understand that BPL is also capable of interferring
with WWV transmissions; maybe you'll have one government agency
fighting another (grin).

The OVH in Manassas is aware of this situation. As with all court
cases, someone has to be "harmed" first before any legal action can
occur. I guess they could always resolve the dispute on the National
Park Service battlefield down the street (grin)...
