One huge difference is our HF bands have little or no commercial value,
just the opposite of the UHF/SHF bands.

Unlike many sky-is-falling hams, I see BPL as a non-issue for two
reasons:

1.  FCC rules say we are absolutely protected from interference from
BPL.

2.  Wireless in the GHz region is going to become the dominant mode
within a few years.  Large amounts of $$$ are being poured into
developing WiMax and other systems and I believe they will totally
replace BPL.

Opinions may differ, but those are mine.
