Last week the NY Times ran a typical
puff-piece article about BPL which looked
to be assembled out of FCC handouts and
industry white papers
Isn't journalism amazing? Don't they ever bother learning a bit about the
stories they write?

Over the weekend they had a sort-of correction
tacked on to an un-related article (don't remember
which one and I don't have the paper handy). The
gist was that the FCC/industry had taken note of
the ARRL objections and required suppression of
interference in what they termed something like
"critical" bands (again, don't remember the exact
phrase) - touted as a victory of government and
industry, cooperating to solve a problem, blah blah
blah. Load of crap.

It seems they are still missing the biggest part of the BPL story. That is,
will it work reliably enough? A journalist doesn't have to be EH Armstrong
to see there's some technological problems with BPL.
