ftth, the person, I couldn't have come up with a better line than that Atomic Bomb one. I needed a good laugh this morning. Thanks. I know I've mentioned this before, but when I was a radio operator as kid, the FCC forced me to fix my radio interference problem that I was causing neighbors. I did so by going to radio row on Cortlandt Street in NY (where the WTC (RIP) was erected) and purchasing a handful of TVI (television interference) filters that I affixed to the backs of neighbors television sets. I doubt after reading your snippet that Powell will ask the same of the power companies when they affect Ham Operators' reception. For certain, the BPL guys must be addressing this problem in some fashion, probably honing new wavelet techniques along with special filtering. But if you examine the nature and being of electric utility transmission wires draped between poles and over high-tension systems, you'll conclude that they do, in fact, make for suitable antennas, give or take a few wavelengths ;) FAC frank@fttx.org

FTTH Here is an old link on powerline from my collection.. ATT seems a little late to the party.. Mike P may not be as bright a bulb as his dad. cnn.com Note the electrical grid differences between the US and Europe discussed towards the end which sound like a significant impediment to more widespread adoption of this technology here.. As has been pointed out MAnet Gmbh has used this method of providing IP to customers for 3 years now but it doesn't seem like its attracting a lot of new converts.. Frank Here is another useful link for tracking some of your telecom interests. research.analysys.com hc
