[RFI] UTC Paper on BPL5

[Ward Silver]

Anytime I read, "...maximizes the value of existing assets by leveraging..."
and "...seeking optimum levels of regulation..."

I know there is trouble ahead.  This combination generally translates to
"Hey, we found another way to bill for this stuff, if we can get away with
it."

The dangerous part is in the conclusions - "...whether or not competitive
advantage is sought, BPL could become an integrated part of most utilities
daily operations through internal applications..."  i.e. - we're going to
deploy it anyway.
