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.
