I know the proposed BPL system uses frequencies from 2-80 MHz
and I belive it uses spread spectrum. Does it have to use
every possible freq in that range or could it skip the ham
bands if we kick up enough fuss?

It seems pretty clear to me that it will happen - 150,000 hams
are outnumbered by more than 100:1 by those who want broadband
delivered to the doorstep.

Not only do I think it will happen, but I also expect the RFI
levels to be "adjusted" so as to allow more pollution - hey,
it works for greenhouse gas and power plants and......

Perhaps I'm just stupid, but the ultimate solution to Broadband, Cable
TV, Telephony, etc. is FTTH (Fiber to the Home). Providing a 100 meg
connection is almost trivial. No radio interference at all. It just
takes someone willing to bite the bullet!

FWIW, probably not much, a few of us up here in northern NH are
spearheading an effort to do a 3 county build. Preliminary cost
estimates are around $32 million. This is being done now in 3
counties around Plattsburgh, NY.
