Unfortunately I agree. There is simply too much money backing BPL. The best
we can hope for is to slow it down or at least apply enough pressure that
the industry finds a way to clean it up. As it stands now, amateur radio as
we know it is in grave danger.

A 1 Mb/sec feed in each direction for only $29.95 per month? That's
what the press releases claim that Cinergy Electric can deliver right
now.

BPL is a juggernaut that will not be stopped by the ARRL or anyone
else. There's simply too much money in it.

And notice that this isn't rural service either. Probably not too
surprising, since the claim of rural services is simply a pretense
anyway. It's large cities like Cincinnati that the BPL proponents
intended to service all along.

Goodbye to radio station WKRP, by the way. Nobody will be able to
listen any more.
