[Lowfer] FCC Chairman Resigns Backed BPL

[Peter Barick]

Fellows,

A bulletin from the ARRL today provides this FCC news.
>>
[Chairman] Martin was a strong advocate of BPL technology, as was his
predecessor, Michael Powell, but the limited number of BPL
deployments show that BPL is not the success story it was hoped to
be. "The technical problems of trying to get BPL to run reliably on
wires that were never intended to carry high-speed digital signals
make BPL less reliable than other technologies," said ARRL
Laboratory Manager and BPL expert Ed Hare, W1RFI. "When coupled with
poor rules that encouraged interference problems, BPL was given a
poor start that it has never completely overcome."

 His ties to BPL should be of interest to amateurs and esp. LowFERs.

So a new era in turbulent electronic-media times will commence Jan 20. What's next @#$% ?
