Although a few BPL providers seem to be bailing out, there seems to be a

shut down immediately a few of the cronic offenders, but with no reaction
from the FCC.

The only recourse I see to this issue is Legal Action, against both the
offending BPL provider, and possibly the FCC for failing to uphold their
own regulations.

Has anyone heard of a ham preparing to take this matter to the courts?


You might want to read this first:

In short, despite the FCC's cheerleading of BPL, it is almost certainly
not going to fly. It offers nothing not already provided in a better
fashion by other, superior services.

And quite frankly, it would be foolhardy to consider any legal action
before seeing the outcome of the election.
