[RFI] Sweden imposes higher levy on electricity bills for EMC | Southgate Amateur Radio News

[Dave]

I am for ANYTHING legal that puts the breaks on uncontrolled EMI.  It is 
getting completely out of hand in the US right now...  At least in the 
Northwest...

As Ed said, this is a good step!

At least someone in some Government is taking this seriously.  Hopefully 
the US will adopt an attitude taking EMI seriously.

73, and thanks,
