Doesn't look like you read the articlegrin...

The article doesn't suggest BPL doesn't cause ruinous QRM.

What it does suggest is that BPL is not a financially viable technology,
and that rapid improvements in wireless technology have superceded it.

Indeed, BPL installations in several places both in the U.S. and
elsewhere have already failed for financial reasons.
Doug,
Did not fully read it - mea culpa. Did catch the part about it not
being financially viable though. Part of what you saw was my bad
attitude in general yesterday, as well as my general belief that the
FCC truly hasn't taken full consideration of the BPL effects to other
services.

Peace,
Howard
