Hi,

We all know how strong can be the RFI generated by BPL. I suggest an idea to
ITU commissioners. The best solution to ensure our defense should be to have
in our camp some statemen, lawyers, Broadcast/Electronic companies CEO, and
celebrities who should be licensed hams too.

This is maybe a naïve proposal but the weight of these tens of famous people
might weight in the balance.

All use either amateur bands or more generaly the electromagnetic spectrum
and can arg against any abuse and will more than probably support our
community. Here are some of them extracted from a file that you can read and
