Damn the ham operators, I want to download porn faster. Screw the communications benefit, I want to steaming music, damn it. Let's break an already functioning means of communication. Destruction leads to creation.

But really Folkes,
Money is the motivation here. A few more customers paying a monthly few is more important than ham radio. It's all about money, the power of the almighty dollar. Tunnel vision lined with $$$$$$$$$, the road to more customers means screwing over the little guys. Ham radio vs potential customers, the potential for money will win, unless ham radio operators join together and pay for a legal campaign against bpl. It will take millions to stop BPL unless they can prove it harmful or dangerous. It all comes down to money and time spent on lawyers and research. Money that could be used for better things.
Ham radio is up against a tough opponent. This opponent is blinded by money. Destroy ham radio so people can pay $30+ so they can surf the web faster. Or course some of these people with dialup REALLY need to update their windows boxes, the only benefit is giving them broadband so they can patch their ancient system from bugs. The internet is more dangerous than ham radio and corporations what their money regardless.
