[Kenwood] BPL

Guys,
both candidates probably know nothing about the technical problems of BPL--they are just repeating what aids have told them to say to score points, because it sounds good to the average joe. Their assistants have probably been listening to Michael Powell. No engineers in the whole bunch. this whole problem is just a massive result of idiot lawyers and politics driving something that belongs in the realm of science and engineering. it is going to take a court challenge, which i predicted about 2 years ago. ARRL should go to court and get the whole decision overturned based on Powell's refusal to recuse himself from the vote. He has been attending these BPL industry demonstrations and blatantly championing their cause, an incredible conflict of interest.

John Kerry is live on Las Vegas CH 3 making a speech to the AARP 
convention being held here. He just said he supports BPL as a means 
of getting the internet to rural areas so kids can have a better 
education and wants to push its installation and use. Why do they 
need BPL? If they have a phone line they can use dial-up or DSL. But 
the point is he wants to push BPL.
This is not meant to be a political statement, I am just relaying what 
I have just heard with my own ears off my T.V. concerning his stand on 
BPL. I normally watch the CH 3 News at Noon program but today it was 
pre-empted for Kerry's speech.
FYI FWIW. Please no Flames, remember, its not nice to kill the
messenger. 73
