Even if the limits are raised, the rules will still not permit them
to interfere with licensed services such as commercial broadcasting and amateur radio even if their emissions are within limits. They would have to change that provision also. I don't think you have a grasp of the problem. Consider the current part 15 rules that are completely ignored by the manufacturers of cheap electronics. They just sell cheap junk and let us fight with our neighbors about interference or RFI. How many new hams do you know that have quit HF because of RFI problems with cheap telephones and other electronics? The BPL providers will just push the problem off to their customers and let us fight with our neighbors. When they are forced to act, they'll find ways to stall and avoid fixing the problems as long as possible (just like they do with leaky insulators and bad grounds). Most hams will become discouraged and give-up on HF. Imagine this scenario: Your neighbor gets a shiny new BPL internet connection and is dazzled by it's performance. You have serious interference from his connection. You complain. The Power Company contacts your neighbor and says 'we're disconnecting you (and all your neighbors) because the HAM next door doesn't like the noise your internet connection makes on his radio'. Guess who ends up the bad guy. Steve |
