My guess is that they don't want to deal with it anymore and will just wait for a lawsuit to come about.
What I think is funny is all the people that said there was no interference at all yet why did Comtek have to make "adjustments" to their equipment? 
Plus, that Yahoo article was about as one sided as you can get. No one bit of rebuttal. Can you say "stock pumper?"  |

| One would tend to believe the Department of the Navy would have a legitimate concern over interference.Could any amount of
"adjustments" fix BPL.? The laws of physics says not possible.I'm 100% in favor of the hams winning.Why don't these $$$$ hungry corporations move forward with fiber.? Instead of pushing 20th century backwards,backwoods BS called BPL.?

It's pretty clear that this technology isn't going to work on any kind of large scale. They'd be much better off using the Current wireless hybrid stuff. Oh yeah, that's their competition.
I can re-word their conclusion to be more factual: "Comtek BPL is clearly a campaign to turn back the clock on broadband in the United States."

The Ham Radio groups have very low visibility and generate little interest by the vast majority of the public. Their public relations efforts are doomed to failure. If they expect to take on Comtek(and the FCC which is pushing BPL), they will have to do it in the courts.
The Navy, on the other hand, has a lot of juice in the administration. And if the Navy determines that Comtek is treading on their communications, then I expect the FCC will be forced to listen up. The ARRL might get results quicker by getting the Navy to run interference(PUN intended) for them thru the bureaucracy.

Re: Talk about a head in the sand attitude......
What is laughable about this is that the power companies that are pushing this have fiber in the ground or are buying bandwidth from some other fiber company to monitor their network. How about connecting those people to your data network if you are so worried. Most of the public don't know that the power companies have data networks in some cases even have fiber on the pole running past the houses in these areas.
CON Edison, Duke Power and others sold their network to bandwidth providers. Lets see.....so I can push a dead-end technology. |
