Considering the efforts made and attention paid by ARRL on behalf of all
radio amateurs in the USA to stop BPL , the above seems rather off the
mark . In the end BPL will not come to fruition whatever the 'pushing'
by FCC and Commercial Powers , also because it will highly likely not
be commercially viable.

I am afraid you missed the whole point, did you just "come on board?"

The surest way to implement the downfall of BPL would be to see the
success of 700Mhz "freedom zone."

Then, BPL would pale in comparison to a method that can penetrate
virtually any building and you can use while you walk down the street ...

Unfortunately, the mindset you have is shared by many, too many; unable
to see the forest through the trees--you attempt to be the tail which
wags the dog; while that may, or may not, work for high powers in high
places--I believe such is doomed to failure--indeed, isn't that how we
got here?
