I've been following this threads on BPL, and, while I could be wrong, so far
as I can determine, the FCC has not indicated one way or the other whether it
intends to approve this new service.

Up to this point it seems that one commissioner has made a speech to the trade
association backing the plan and has indicated her support. What have we heard
from the other four commissioners?

Any FCC decision may be appealed to the federal courts. But if you're going to
do it, you'd better have plenty of money. Lawyers are expensive.

Also, I wonder why all the anger. I think it's premature. To my knowledge the
FCC hasn't even decided the BPL matter. So far as I can determine, only one
commissioner has spoken out in favor of it. What about the other four.

As for engineering expertise, every commissioner has an engineering
assistant--or is entitled to one.

There are no requirements to be a member of the FCC. All that's required is a
presidential appointment, and traditionally they've gone to old politicians,
consumer activists, former Capitol Hill aides, broadcasters and others. Many,
indeed, are lawyers, and of those, a lot in the past 30 or so years have been
lawyers with a communications practice who go on to make millions after they
leave the commission and go back into communications law.
