Well then you are willing to be dishonest and to violate the law.



Don't think the BPL companies won't violate the law, though. I expect their
first counterpunch in the interference war will be increasing the power of
the BPL carriers in the ham bands.

Then the PR campaign starts. Every couple of weeks, or so, a newsletter
would be sent to the subscribers explaining that HAMS AND CB'ERS are
attempting to interfere with their internet access. What to do? Write a
letter to your congressman. Write a letter to your senator. Write a letter
to the FCC. HAMS AND CB'ERS ARE THREATENING YOUR CHOICE OF INTERNET
ACCESS!! When things get nasty, instructions will be included on how to
recognize a ham callsign. .

I'm sure a trained propagandist/PR guy could come up with much, much more.

This fight won't be setteled in BPL neighborhoods, but in Washington. Hiram
Percy Maxim is gone, but Billy Tauzin is becoming a lobbyist. Can the hams
afford his services?

Well, if they really want to fight dirty, the hams can also. Mobil units
can cruse neighborhoods and cause havoc with BPL and it would be very
hard to pin down the hams doing it.
