Exactly. Also, don't just complain to the utilities as they will still
deny
getting complaints. I wonder if they are hiring any of the lawyers from
the
tobacco companies LOL

The aggregate population that will be affected by the interference from
BPL
is minimal at best. Even if commercial interest is rolled up into the
collective, there just ins't going to be the appearance of a majority
negative impact on this one.

BPL is a reality.

There has been at least one posting to one of the amateur newsgroups
referencing an article by an independent economic analyst. He has evaluated
BPL several times over the last 10 years at the request of various clients
and in his opinion it will not really get off the ground regardless of
technical feasibility. The investment exceeds the projected return. Other
means of delivering Broadband are much more cost effective. Only time will
tell though but I hope he is right. Keep in mind that the test sites are
only designed to demonstrate technical feasibility not cost effectiveness.
