Re: BPL is Dead
Actually, to my knowledge, no fines have been issued. In one system - the Main.net system operating in Manassas, VA, the FCC ordered the BPL operator to do testing to determine if was operating within the FCC limits. That testing probably cost tens of thousands of dollars, but there has been no fine issued.

What's funny is that BPL providers who aren't complying with the no interference rule are being fined tens of thousands of dollars by the FCC from reports filed by Amateur Radio operators who are reporting them.
