> BPL - Here is a copy of my comments to the FCC on BPL:
> 
> "The proposed BPL communications technology is flawed. Studies in
> Asia and Europe have confirmed that the service promised will simply not
> 
> be delivered to the consumer. The other negative is an almost infinite
> potential for disruption of existing communication in both the military.
> 
> aviation, commercial and amateur radio segments. The special interest
> groups that will benefit most from BPL are Email Spammers,
> Pornographers, Power Company Monopolies and the Microsoft Corporation."
