What many do not realize, is that the same 'group' of freq's that the hams will have issue with these other groups will *also* be adversly affected: Homeland Security, your local Public ServicesAgencies, Emergency communications from public & private aircraft etc.
ZenZen. 'Broadband over powerline' (BPL) will create a one of the largest (?'unintentional'?) transmission system (read: 'antenna systems') and is a technology blunder.
If you go to fcc.gov and lookup 'part 95', you will see that all part 95 devices, BPL included, are required to prove that they are not going to be able to create interferance.
The power companies know that it will, and that the steps that they are taking to control this issue are inadaquate.
In Hauppage Long Island NY, LIPA (Our power company) is being funded by New York State (Huh?) to create this flawed technology.
As a private citizen and Emergency communications officer for my district, I am doing my best to educate the state, fed gov and the general public.
I'm sorry if this does not address the question to a better level. ... I'm working on it. It just caught my eye this PM on this site.
