Time is running out to file comments with FCC on Broadband Over Power Line
(BPL) - Docket 03-104. To file a comment go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/
select submit filing in box at upper right. Use the docket number 03-104
in box 1 "Proceeding".
This proposal would but RF energy from 2-80MHz on the power lines. Studies
in Europe have shown significant interference problems. For more info see:

Based on current problems resolving "ordinary" power line interference -
this would appear to be a disaster waiting to happen.
The Commissioners seem very keen on this.
