After listening to the Mp3 clip I have a concern about the FCC
pulling a fast one.

The third commissioner to speak, Jonathan Adelstien was talking about
"techniques to address interference issues". He said "some of these
systems can co-exist very well with existing licensees"

Why did he feel the need to include the word "existing"? Is the plan
of the FCC to grandfather "existing amateurs" and allow them a say in
interference issues, but nullify the future amateurs ability to
complain about these same issues? Will the total burden of
interference be the problem of future amateurs? Will the FCC only
have to wait until the existing licensees die out before they can go
full throttle with BPL?
