Critical everyone submits a reply comment ASAP.

I guess you're making the assumption that everyone who is a ham would be
against this? Or, are you really being that generous where it's a
"everyone
should have their voice thing?"

Do you think BPL is a good thing, Kim?


Whether I think it's a good thing or not wasn't the point of my comments.
The point was that I wonder if a "blanket invitation" for comments would
extend to those who may think it is a good idea.


Good idea. Make everyone think uniformly...yeah, that's the ticket!

What is YOUR thinking on BPL, KIm?


Well, I don't think I have a position on it, Jim. So, I would personally
refrain from commenting. I would not automatically think it was a bad idea
just because I am a ham radio operator, though. My point with the comments
was that uniformity can sometimes be seen as ignorance--and the FCC is
probably in a position to determine if they are getting canned messages or
not. It always a good idea, if one is participating in a mass effort to at
least come up with something truly original--even better to come up with
something that directly impacts them.


btw, BPL will be just as vulnerable to disruption from physical damage as
cable, dialup or DSL because the wires are on the same poles or in the
same
trenches. In fact it will be more vulnerable because the lines are not
shielded.

73 de Jim, N2EY


Maybe they'll ditch the whole thing...
