They have. Mikey Powell was just in Raleigh (where I am)
talking to the public, and the paper quoted him on the BPL
issue among others. I don't have the exact quote but he
basically said, "We'll try not to harm hobbyists, but BPL
has too much potential (*) to let it be stopped."

(*) "Potential" = "people are going to get RICH on this."

"We'll *try* not harm hobbyists.." Yeah, riiiight. To me what he
actually said was "Talk to the hand 'cause the face don't understand."
I think Powell would love nothing more than to see amateur radio die.
