This is true however, it should be interesting to see power company 
behavior going forward as the FCC has recently ruled costs for finding 
source interference must be borne by THEM!

Definitely agree with this, had a problem with a pole on our property, 
called
with the pole number, explained what was going on and they were out and 
had it
fixed inside of 24 hours... Currently KUB is running new poles and 
lines along
11W, this could be good and/or bad, depending on how well the 
construction crews
do their jobs. In the long run, it's a sign of more population in the 
area...
and more noise.
