[FADCA] OK How about this idea?

[Joel Yates]

See Text below...Personally as an Amateur Radio Operator and Chief Engineer of a TV Station. I think it would cause too much unwarranted interference not only to Amateur Radio but any and every thing else. And what if there is power line noise, transformer arcing...etc... on top of that. How reliable would the service be?

The FCC has approved nationwide deployment of new technology 
that carries high-speed Internet connections over electric 
power lines. The unanimous ruling last week opens the way for 
power companies to deliver television programming, Internet 
access and telephone service over their electrical 
transmission lines.
"Broadband-over-powerline" allows subscribers to connect to 
the Internet by plugging a modem into a conventional 
electrical outlet. Supporters said it could become a major 
alternative to cable modem and phone connections if the FCC 
approval helps it attract investment and the participation of 
major utility companies.
The FCC had limited the new technology to pilot projects 
while it studied the concerns of critics, including amateur 
radio operators who said it could interfere with their 
signals. The FCC unanimously approved wider use of the 
technology after finding that the interference was 
manageable. It also set rules last week for monitoring 
interference
