| BPL Inherently Flawed, League CEO Tells Broadband Alternatives Conference

| Newington, CT, Mar 22, 2005--ARRL Chief Executive Officer David Sumner,
| K1ZZ, told a New York City conference on "Alternative Broadband Platforms"
| March 18 that broadband over power line (BPL) has "an inherent technical
| flaw"--interference potential--that cannot be completely nor inexpensively
| eliminated. He also told the gathering that no BPL system operator can
| guarantee that its system will always work or that it will be allowed to
| operate. Sumner said the problem is simple: Power lines were not designed to
| carry broadband signals, so they can't do it very well...

That's been my take on this technology for over 7 years. But no one listens to
me....
