Being a person that lives in a "rural" area, at first glance, I would whole-heartely support this proposal as it might allow me to connect to the internet at a speed faster than 28.8K. We should not hit the "panic" button, however, until we know more. Note the following quote from the AMA web-site:
"Please understand, that as of this date, AMA has no solid evidence that BPL can or will cause interference problems to our operations. " At this point, the only evidence that there might be a problem fails to identify either the frequncies or the range for which a problem may exist. Until we know whether the possible interference has a range of 5 inches, 5 feet, or 5 miles, we are making a stand from a position of ignorance, and that's a weak place to make a stand. My point is, it is premature to say "we lost" until we know for sure that there's a problem in the first place.
