| getting the "nod"
I'm not sure "getting the nod from the FCC" means anything with regard to potential interference issues.
The FCC has proved over and over that it is either technically incompetent to decide these issues, or it allows other considerations (politics) to drive decisions.
It is much more of the latter, but I no longer trust in the technical competence of this agency, as the leaders seem to routinely ignore their own experts. |

In past decades the FCC was non political and was run by engineers that knew their business. the air waves where administered as a public trust. They where hard nosed about protecting it. Heaven help the, Ham Radio operator, radio station, or TV station who broke the rules and crossed these people. If something like BPL had been submitted to these engineers for type acceptance it would have been laughed out of the building.

Re: getting the "nod"
Yes but doesn't the chance still exist since it is approved that BPL could be the next big form of internet access? I know everything is going wireless these days but what are your opinions on there being a chance of BPL getting big? I'm curious to know everyones thoughts that are more in depth? Lets think outloud here so I can listen.. I'll buy you all an ebeer.  |
