A light at the end of the BPL Tunnel?

I received this from another reflector but thought you would like to read
it.

I had the opportunity to play golf in a charity event with the CEO of
Minnesota Power last week.  I know the guy pretty well, but hadn't had the
opportunity to get his feeling on BPL.  He came up the line through the
engineering
department, so knew that he would be pretty well informed.

I was really pleased to hear that MP has done their homework and is
presently
not planning on investing anymore of their (our) resources on implementing
BPL.  They are aware of the potential for harmfull interference (in both
directions), but their real reason for putting it aside is the abosolute
best for us!
It just doesn't work out econmically except in very densely occupied areas
and they recognize that there are better options.

Granted MP is no Excel Engergy, but they are a pretty good sized Ute and
cover a significant portion of northern Minnesota.  I also suspect that many
other
mid-sized Utilities will come up with the same bottom line.

A good sign that I wanted to pass along.

Dear John, N0IJ:

                That is an encouraging note on the subject.  Thanks.

Alvah, K1TMA
