[Elecraft] BPL

Thu Mar 25 10:55:01 2004

The group that was quoted earlier, the APPA, is comprised of municipally
owned power companies, not to be confused with the major utilities. Here's
their web site: http://www.appanet.org/
Like most municipalities, they are looking for every buck they can get, any
way they can get it. Same category in my mind as radar traps, and just as
dangerous. 

Large utilities are members of the UTC --- http://www.utc.org/
You can tune in on their slant by registering on their site.

More on this later.....

reallocation of HF spectrum to the power companies. That's what they
think they deserve, "transfer bandwidth". K2AV

Power companies are a natural monopoly given special status to provide a
public service.  They should NOT be allowed to profit, or to compete with
for profit entities.  they should not be allowed to enter the BPL business
with their unfair advantage and put free enterprise business out of work.
that is before we even get to a discussion of frequency theft.
