Ed Hare, W1RFI, of the ARRL isn't the only one measuring the interference
at the BPL pilot test sites ... I was in a meeting today with folks from
NTIA
(the equivalent of the FCC for federal govt. users of the spectrum) and they
are out doing measurements, too. The meeting was about something else,
but I got the impression that they aren't happy with what they are seeing
either ...

That's the first best piece of news yet today abt BPL. I've been
wondering where NTIA has been in the mix. Given their key position in
Homeland Security I suspect that they will have the final word on BPL.
Assuming they come out opposed to BPL of course.

The second best piece of news today is the new eggs in the face of the
power industry. Their credibility has dropped to zip in 48 hours flat
and methinks that they'll now have bigger problems selling BPL given
the fact that their core technologies need all the attention they can
muster.
