This has nothing to do with the Internet or code tapping amateurs.

It has to do with some intellectually devoid engineers challenging
the reality of the Nyquist rate and placing a device on the only
radio frequencys that can be naturally propagated through out the
planet.



No, I think the engineers are saying 'It can be done, but it will
interfere...' and the bean counters look at the 'but it will
interfere...' part as the obstacle to overcome (buy off). Engineers
don't call the shots, the lawyers and accountants do. If you want
someone or something to blame, blame the 'any profit is good' mind set
of the greed heads and the politicians who obey their big campaign
contributors.




I apologize for specifying "Engineers" in my previous post, it was not
intentional.

'Engineer' has become a generic term. It's easy to understand why many
different professions tend to be referred to as 'engineers,' it has a
ring of technical competence to it, for now, and that's why it's
co-opted so often.

It is frustrating when fact is trumped by the use of relentless verbiage.

Or by relentless, willful ignorance, like that on the part of the FCC
when it comes to BPL (and a few other services...sigh). The FCC has
become another heavily politicized entity run by party hacks endeavoring
to abrogate the rights of the little people in favor of the almighty,
short-term bottom line.

Don't get me wrong, I think profits are good, but not at any cost and
certainly not at the expense of future generations, expenses economic,
social, environmental...

Sigh,
