So if this was (is) such a good way to send signals, why wasn't the
internet developed this way in the first place?

Mike:

Or cable TV, for that matter. Why spend all the bucks to wire the world
with coax when power lines are everywhere?

I believe that I am skeptical enough that even if I didn't have a
technical background, that question would pop up pretty quickly when
considering BPL.

Carl, is there any other way that we can aid this fight?

For one thing, if and when BPL comes to your area, don't subscribe
to it!

And, if BPL comes to your area and you receive interference, let
Ed Hare, W1RFI, at the ARRL know about it.

One thing that's VERY important ... we CANNOT afford to have
people mis-identifying other sources of interference as "BPL" and
making inaccurate interference complaints to the FCC.

It is OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE that BPL interference
be properly ID'd. We do NOT want inaccurate claims of "BPL
interference" to be made because the BPL industy will say, "See,
we told you those hams were exaggerating ... our systems don't
cause interference."
