Re: Why BPL
I think all that info was unnecessary. You could have just said it's alot more then 6MHz and leave it at that. Nobody actually read that and did the calculations to see exactly how many Mhz..
Anyway, in what frequency range does this interference happen? If it's a small portion, maybe that section should be reassigned to be used as BPL so hams stop crying about it.
Don't you see? It's inevitable people, just because someone's interfering with your hobby isn't gonna let these companies mess with their possible huge profit by using this new technology. Hams should stop bitching about it and see what bands the interference occurs and request another band be used for their little conversations. |

| That is all I hear when you members of "the Church of
BPL" get hit with the facts. HOW MANY TIME DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU FOOLS ALL THE FREQUENCIES IN QUESTION ARE SPOKEN FOR. It is not a simple matter of tuning our radios to a different frequencies everything is being used by somebody.
We do not have to move over for a type 15 technology.
but even though you all know BPL is dead on it's feet.
The bottom line is IT CAN'T MAKE ANY MONEY!!!!

| Man, get a sense of humour.... I referring to a BPL argument going back MONTHS ago. Being an Engineer, I DO KNOW better and was making thinly veiled attempt at humour and an even more obscure reference to one fellow's post on "Taking away 6Mhz of Ham spectrum @ 144Mhz to make VHF broadband possible." Lighten up dude, I am on your side. But I learned something...
F*ck me for trying to be funny again. Jeeze, sorry. Carry on.

Well, for one thing I don't really care about BPL, I have cable with 10Mb/1Mb speed so I'm good there. The thing is I just did some research and found this out:
"ARRL has, upon diligent and exhaustive research, concluded that all Amateur medium-frequency (MF, i.e. 1.8-2.0 MHz), all HF, and all VHF allocations must be avoided by any access or in-building BPL system, without exception."
Also upon further research, I found out that it's not only hams that use these frequencies for hobby but some emergency, gov't and military also do...
So the problem is more extensive then I originally thought, I stand corrected. How about power companies that will be using this technology maybe put some sort of filter or shield on their lines? That would probably be costly for them tho...
And to respond to your "the bottom line is IT CAN'T MAKE ANY MONEY!!!" statement, they will invent anything to make money and it's a promising technology. It will cause fierce competition and that means price drop for the rest of us. Not to mention convenience and future possibilities when ALL of our electronics will be able to interact with one and other...
BPL is NOT "dead on it's feet" and if the demand is there, it will succeed and it will become illegal for YOU to interfere with BPL... Your radio will collect dust and you'll tell all your children these psycho stories like how there was once a thing called HAM and how you hate BPL and they will laugh at you. |

What you're describing is coaxial cable, such as the cable companies use. But if the area is already served by cable, what market will BPL have? And if there isn't cable already, it's probably because it's not economic to do so. |

| Oh, oh.. okay. I guess this is license to carry on being funny when I want to. Thanks! But seriously, thanks man. No harm no foul. I too sort of work in a high stress environment and forget to take my sense of humour with me as I troll tromp about on the web.

Thank you for your intellectual honesty and interest in learning about the whole scenario. Too many folk come her and attack the opposition to BPL taking a stand that is devoid of many facts or an open mind to really access the situation.
Most unfortunately, you tend to be a rare type out there!
