[RFI] BPL Propaganda, ARRL Rebuttal on NPR's Morning Edition

[Ed -K0iL]

Fellas,

Why don't you just e-mail the White House and ask them?  That's what I did.


Their reply was very clear: they are going to do everything they can from
reducing regulations (& enforcement) to whatever-else it takes to aid
development of BPL as one of the broadband options.  But that's all it will
take to eliminate HF operation as we know it today.

However, as I've stated before, utilities may end up doing BPL whether they
provide internet or not.  The REASON for doing BPL is to have an
owner-controlled data network to every electric customer.  The WAY TO PAY
for it is to provide broadband internet access for whoever can't get it or
can't afford it now.

No I did not read it too quickly.  I also don't take a few
words and
take them out of context.>>

It was pretty well in front of anyone who was following BPL
and the early FCC actions that the Bush administration was
pushing BPL and told the FCC to find a way to make it
happen. Let's not pretend the FCC and everyone else ignored
scientific facts all on their own.
