Utility experiments with Internet over power lines
[snip]

The prospect of piggybacking Internet data onto power lines has raised
some
complaints from shortwave radio operators, who worry that it could disrupt
radio signals.

Other groups, citing concern about radio interference, have also urged the
government to take a cautious approach to approving the technology. They
include the National Academy of Sciences,
Aeronautical Radio Inc., and the National Telecommunications and
Information
Agency, which represents federal agencies that use high-frequency radio
channels.

The encouraging thing about the AP's report is that it acknowledges the
problem with interference. It seems most of the non-radio hobbyist
reporters write their articles from BPL press releases.

The discouraging thing is that George Bush backs BPL.
