Let's see, we have several hundred thousand amateur radio enthusiasts' needs
to consider versus hundreds of millions of computer/data users' needs. Who
do I think will win? Come on, get real.

Save your money for a new electronic doohickey that will utilize the
increased bandwidth with which we are about to be blessed.

Change is inevitable - resistance is futile.

I'm rather surprised that any amateur would dismiss the BPL
initiative, or
be so cynical as to believe that the appeal for funds in this case is the
ARRL
"crying wolf". Most of you have a search engine and I suggest you look up
the
studies done to date on the effect of BPL on the HF and low VHF spectrum.
I
particularly suggest checking the results of tests in Japan. And take a
look
at the relevant articles in the Web Extra section of the ARRL website.
If you don't want to contribute money to the ARRL's efforts to fight
the
BPL initiative, then may I suggest you look up the comments filed on
03-104 and
file some well thought out reply comments; we have until 6 August.
