You are all old couch sitting tube thumpers
 

It appears the UPLC (United Powerline council) does not value people that
enjoy tube radios. This from a group of people that use glass
insulators and old wooden power poles to send hi-speed internet.

I believe the UPLC disrespects amateurs primarily due to our use of
armchairs. And I'm as guilty as any; for years, I've been sitting on my ass
in an armchair!

Well, what kind of logic could you expect from a CEO named Moron(ey)?

From the article"

"UPLC reminded the Commission that BPL is not just another broadband
access platform, but one that enables applications in ways that other
technologies do not by providing enhanced utility applications, home
networking, symmetric speeds, and low latency for a variety of
services. Unique applications will improve the efficiency and
reliability of electric service to utility customers as well as
promote broadband competition for consumers, carriers and ISPs -
saving lives, reducing electric generation costs, remedying the
digital divide and conquering the DSL- cable duopoly."



Wow! This stuff can do anything except restore virginity. And
I'm sure they're working on that little problem.

They certainly will need to find a way of doing that, in view of what
they are doing to (potential) customers, to existing licensed users of
the RF spectrum, and probably to their investors as well.

"The United Power Line Council (UPLC) forcefully replied to concerns ..."

Forcefully -- not truthfully or accurately but -- FORCEFULLY!


"... as well as promote broadband competition for consumers, carriers and
ISPs - saving lives, "

BPL saves lives! What could be more important than that?


"... ignore "armchair amateurs that still use vacuum tube transmitters" "

Ignore the power companies that still burn coal to make steam!


""BPL is an exciting technology with a promising future, but it's dependent
on the FCC to develop rules that will encourage companies to deploy
systems.."

No new rules are needed, because:

"...the risk of interference from BPL is extraordinarily low, ..."


Sounds like the Cranky Old Hams have struck a nerve!!

Did you compose that wonderful example of
convoluted logic before, or after, you got drunk
with the rest of the chain-smoking boys at the
ham club meeting or the VFW Post?
