[Amps] A CALL TO ARMS !

[Bill Fuqua]

The commissioners are scrambling to put this into effect before the next 
election to assure their future employment by the Utility companies. BPL 
will allow the power company to get into the telephone and pay-per-view 
movie business besides the Internet. And they are not thinking of rural 
customers ,but want to dominate as much of the market as possible. It is 
impossible to figure how much the power companies profits will increase 
from implementing BPL but it should  be many times what they are getting 
now. It is likely to be the largest increase of profits of any  public 
utility or service ever including the phone and cable companies.
