This part, sadly, is probably correct.

Shouldn't you really be asking:

1) How has this happened? (or, are we the "frog in the pan of boiling
water?")

2) How can we stop our public servants (note: some refer to them as
"leaders") from criminal, self-serving (pocket stuffing), anti-American
and treasonous behavior and engaging in such conspiracies with large
business?

3) How can we get real world figures/facts from our news media? And,
why are these media outlets not on trial?

4) Etc., etc. ....

Power companies have already attempted to control "their" power-lines
(really the public power-lines) from being subjected to a secondary use
(BPL), they lost--so far ... American citizens can use their lines as
they please. In the end game, I suspect the politicians will be paid
off so power companies can hold BPL providers to ransom--this criminal
behavior permeates government/business these days ... many are leaving
the states, that is one option--let 'em tax the illegals to death.

Amateur Radio and its' importance just stands as a pale ghost in
comparison to the dramatic figures in this play ... the amateur
community were warned--long ago; few paid attention--now it is too late.
==============================
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?

No, I asked it that way because I know of no country besides the U.S. that
tested BPL and allowed it, but in case there were any I was not aware of,
anyone who knew could answer.

Do you know of any? The only country that came close that I know of was
Austtrialia, because they have large sparsely populated areas. However
last I heard it was canceled because it was shown to interfere with
Coastal radio stations.

Because it is low power radio waves transmitted over very long wires.

No, I asked it that way...

My response was to Smith, not you.
