Verision, in the Dallas, Texas area, recently sold their interest in BPL to "Oncor", Which was part of TXU before it was split apart, who is the local power Billng and Powerline company for several million/billion, I don't remember the exact mononatary number, like it really matters anyway!. It was more money than I have in any case!
The Local News said, part of it was to inform TXU/Oncor when the power was out at any particuliar address. WELL! I guess the Cat just got out of the bag!!!!! Fellow HAM's, LOOK OUT!, and have the addresses for your Congress Critters At the ready! (Please Remember, if no one contacts the Congress Critters, they Think it MUST be OK!!!!) Broadband via PowerLine, while it is workable, tends to interfere with low freq. communications including, (Of Course), those of the HAM Community! I will leave it there and let the rest of you please pass it along. BroadBand Via PowerLine is BAD for us unless THEY can PROVE that it will NEVER INTERFERE with our COMM's! Bruce Bagwell KE5TPN .
