There will be so much capital investment by companies in BPL that the courts won't dare to overturn the decision!!!! The FCC will cave to the $$$ interest, if they have not already done so. They have. Mikey Powell was just in Raleigh (where I am) talking to the public, and the paper quoted him on the BPL issue among others. I don't have the exact quote but he basically said, "We'll try not to harm hobbyists, but BPL has too much potential (*) to let it be stopped." (*) "Potential" = "people are going to get RICH on this." _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD kuzen001 at acpub .duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |

You mean, by running high power and interfering with the BPL access? Never happen. When Suburban Dad can't get his sports and Mom can't get AOL and Junior can't download Korean porn, all because of one 80-year-old down the street with a hobby that 98% of Americans don't even understand, they'll pull the rug out from under ham radio faster than you can say "broadband." If there were 50 million active hams and we were well organized, we might have a chance. _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD kuzen001 at acpub .duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |
