Default FCC endorses BPL, another threat to ham radio


Look up FCC rules Part 97.121 among others. I personally know a
licensed
amateur that was using Approved equipment, who never the less had his
operating privlidges restricted in & around his home simply because
People called & complained about TVI, & the FCC cited 97.121 in their
letter to him as the reason for the restriction.


OK. I did, and here it is:

S 97.121

(a) If the operation of an amateur station causes general interference
to the reception of transmissions from stations operating in the domestic
broadcast service when receivers of good engineering design, including
adequate selectivity characteristics, are used to receive such
transmissions, and this fact is made known to the amateur station
licensee, the amateur station shall not be operated during the hours from
8.PM to 10:30PM local time, and on Sunday for the additional period from
10:30AM unti 1PM, local time, upon the frequency or frequencies used when
the interference is created. (b) In general, such steps as may be
necessary to minimize interference to stations operating in other services
may be required after investigation by the FCC.



I don't see where the above applies to Internet service providers.
They are not licensed stations, per se, anyway. You might also note how
cable TV stations are dealt with under similar circumstances. They are
always at fault if there is an RFI problem.
