Default BPL strikes another win ...

Golly....I'm unwilling to read through a litany of knee-jerk responses;
did anybody notice that this BPL deployment is Current Communications?
And, does anybody know that they utilize 30 -50 MHz on the overhead
segments and the HomePlug protocol on the LV segments (Homeplug notches
the Amateur bands).

In Ohio, Current passes 10,000 homes and NOT ONE HAM COMPLAINT. Why is
this? Simple. Not in our backyard.

And don't tell me I don't know about this - I stood toe-to-toe with
Progress Energy engineers in NC prior to the FCC 04-37 ruling; measured,
wrote and got dirty in the process.

Where was everybody else?

BPL can be deployed outside the Amateur Bands without insult within our
allocations.
