==FCC BPL REPORT AND ORDER STRESSES INTERFERENCE AVOIDANCE, RESOLUTION

I say if BPL comes to pass, we all buy solar cells, wind generators, thermo,
and tide generators and tell the electricity companies where to shove their
live wire.

It's a nice thought, but not more than wishful thinking. The cost is
still too high for effective adoption. The cost of the drug
(electricity) is adjusted so it will be always a bit cheaper than making
your own.

If, by a miracle, the cost of home production becomes cheaper than what
the corporations sell it to you for, count on the government TAXING your
equipment so it's *above* what their corporate bosses are charging.

For a long time here, it would have been cheaper in the long run to buy
a natural-gas generator. Of course, now that we bought our first house,
natural gas prices have gone sky-high and taken any advantage away.

I keep waiting for someone to point out that since the BPL signals are
broadcast over the air they can be easily intercepted; and there goes your
credit card information and passwords and other secrets for all the world
to see. That alone would be enough to dissuade me from becoming a BPL
subscriber.

Signals are encrypted using double ROT-13.
