[R-390] The politics of BPL

[Terry O'Laughlin]

My friends in regulatory politics tell me BPL is being sold as the new REA, 
Rural Electrification Authority.  Bring broadband to the country 
folk!  This is especially galling because I remember my years of DXing in 
the country - hearing longwave stations from Europe deep in Midwest US 
because the noise level was so low.  You think we have noise now, wait 
until BPL crisscrosses the country on those long rural lines.  Talk about 
an antenna farm!

Best,
