[Premium-Rx] Re: BPL...what the H?

[Brian Comer]

Hi all

It is interesting that the ARRL has managed to get the FCC to require
that the ham bands be eliminated from the frequencies used for the home
BPL systems development. Current development uses every thing from 4 to
28 MHz and has holes on the ham bands. 

Question: 

Are we (hams) all that are left on HF? In which case they might as well
give all of 3.5 to 30 MHz!

Why can't the ARRL get the same deal for the much more problematic last
mile and other systems envisioned?

Hi,

I've sweated over this idiotic subject myself...it occurred to me that
nowhere is there any indication this is an advancement, improvement, or
anything that would benefit the general public.  It's about a useful as
delivering that alleged last mile via a sewer pipe, which come to think
of
it is a great idea and would bypass both the phone and electric
companies,
giving municipalities a virtual monopoly on wideband sewage via
IP...what a
money pump!

I would venture a guess that a good way to kill this dopey idea is to
keep
up the technical barrage but also make it perfectly clear that no one
will
buy this.  It's another one of those answers to the question nobody
asked.
Obviously some dope somewhere thinks this will sell like
hotcakes...let's
make him wrong and have him selling shoes as Al Bundy's assistant.

Pucker factor here is 73.875 ... getting tight!

regards

John Collins
