Dear Mr. Shrader,

Thank you for your interest in broadband over powerline issues.  We
regret that the Commissioner's remarks may have been interpreted as
suggesting an absence of concern over harmful interference.  The
Commissioner's primary point was that, from a policy perspective, she is
keenly interested in seeing multiple broadband platforms develop, to
promote the goals of facilities-based competition and broadband
deployment.  She did not intend to suggest that broadband over powerline
necessarily will emerge as a viable platform, or that it does not
present interference issues.  In fact, she went out of her way to note
that the Commission must ensure that BPL and all new technologies avoid
causing harmful interference to licensed RF users.  That is a bedrock
position for Commissioner Abernathy, and we regret if it was not made
sufficiently clear.

Sincerely,
Matthew A. Brill
Senior Legal Adviser to Commissioner Abernathy

RE: BPL Comments.
In the public interest you are obligated to protect FCC licensed
services in the HF/VHF portion of the spectrum.

Studies and Tests confirm that BPL, as described to the HF/VHF community
will increase background noise levels by 30 to 60 dB. Is this protecting
licensed services?
