All... I doubt the BPL crowd is 'gaming' their pilots as Dave suggests,
although I'm sure they're looking at the interference potential of the
pilots,
to figure out how best to mitigate it.
What's more likely is that they're searching for economic opportunity in a
reasonably methodical way. That these tend to be in populated areas is no
surprise. Rural markets simply cease to be economic at some point, just
as they are for cable and DSL service.
Ocham's razor: the simplest answer is the most likely.

<snip> We could then correlate low-band usage with BPL pilot
locations. If there are matches, then we know where to focus our efforts.
If there are no matches, this fact would substantiate an allegation that the
BPL industry is gaming their pilots by choosing locations where interference
is unlikely, as is implied by at least one statement in the ARRL BPL web
site. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
