Ambient Corporation Receives Key License from FCC


NEWTON, Mass.-- Nationwide Permit Will Speed Up Implementation of Field
Trials --


Ambient Corporation ABTG, a leader in Power Line Communications (PLC)
technology, announced that the company has been approved for a nationwide
license by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).


The nationwide license allows Ambient to initiate field trials with partners
anywhere in the United States without having to apply for individual
licenses for each trial.


[snip fluff]

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Or maybe not. Maybe all this is a ploy by the big powercos to get us
to lobby the FCC for a 10KW or 20KW limit, so that we can be heard and
they can sell us Lots More Power.
