To answer the first question, it's the $$$.. power companies and internet providers lobbied the FCC for this boondoggle, and M. Powell is bending over backward to accommodate big business (this is no secret, every single vote the FCC has taken has been in favor of big business, and to hell with the consumer. Will we be suprised if/when BPL gets rolling and bringing in the big bucks to see Mr. Powell and/or other top FCC officials, leave the FCC for a cushy job at an outrageous salary at some BPL involved company as a thank you for pushing BPL through? I think not. |

"Ed G" wrote in message 48.75... . Come to think of it, let me ask, and I'm probably right in this guess... Was Japan one of those countries? And was it anywhere near the 70s perhaps? Seems to me now that I think about it, I did read an article of some power experiments back then in like Popular Science or Electronics or something. Thinking more and more of this, I can surely understand how much of a pain this may be. Thanks again, I appreciate it. This may get interesting to say the least. MNS Everything you want to know about the BPL issue can be found at: http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/ ... this includes the recent decision by Japan not to implement... along with several other countries. Ed WB6SAT Thank you as well for your input. I shall look it up. MNS |

Exactly what modes of operation "may" be affected exactly? I've heard "low band VHF". Does anyone have a website perhaps aside from the FCC's to read which describes in detail perhaps who can use this, requirements to do so, where - if any limitations, etc. BPL will affect frequecies between 1.8 and 75 MHz directly. Many countries have experimented with it, and dropped it entirely because if intereference to other services. See the ARRL website (www.arrl.org) for links to various articles and such on BPL. Also see www.qrz.com. Thank you... So I guess the question begs to be asked, if all of them other countries tried it and it failed, then why the hell are we trying to do the same thing? Talk about a huge waste of money and effort! Sheeesh.... Come to think of it, let me ask, and I'm probably right in this guess... Was Japan one of those countries?
