[RFI] AT&T Begins Testing High-Speed Internet Over Power Lines

[Rik van Riel]

I could see AT&T using the power lines as Goubau lines
to transmit data along them. Not on HF, because the
bandwidth there is simply way too low…

    By High Frequency they probably mean Millimeter wave. 
    
    AT&T has a project AirGig. It should not affect our HF frequencies.
    
    Ironically, the HF frequencies (3-30 Mhz) are used for commercial, public service and military communications on a secondary basis so the pressure to take them away from the Amateur Radio Service is diminished. The downside of this is that the FCC and it's counterparts in other countries will do little to mitigate RF interference since it does not affect those services.
