BPL and HD amount to 'ending radio as we know it'. BPL does for 2 - 70 Megs what HD does for AM. Hams and other HF users contact FCC re interference from this Nineties' Techno-jalopy. Greased off lapdogs ensure findings to be 'operating within limits'. My foot. Create interference, deny listening except to paid subscriber outlets, increase monopolistic control over public airwaves. End radio as we know it. Carrier current systems have long been used to broadcast college AM stations to dorm residents. Transmitters are located in dorms. Reception outside dorm was by design difficult if not impossible. College carrier current sta's operate on one freq.
BPL spatters 2 to 70 megs with noise. It transmits through power lines, fine antenna system, that. We're not supposed to rudely notice. Heaven forfend some corporado greaseball becomes 'offended'. Invertebrrate, prissy, poltroons consider it 'uncivil'. Rightly so, after all, they just want to steal spectrum. In what has become a putrid 90's cliche, FCC fell 'victim' to a 'paperwork glitch'. They failed to notice many police, fire, and other public safety users still use 30 to 50 MHz. BPL is horrible, destructive, and designed to wipe out competition in favor of a few cronyistic tin-pots terminally afflicted with avarice.
Drudge has two articles today, one on BPL coming to Houston, TX. Another describes BPL's backers. Shills....sorry, promoters of this poorly conceived clunk claim it provides internet access everyone. This 'world is running out of RF spectrum' faux-crisis canard well served adventurers who dumped 800 meg trunked systems on allegedly 'cash strapped' municipalities during the 90's, before Nextel rendered them questionable, and many users realized they would do well to keep VHF/UHF systems on cold standby.
BPL promoters claim they'll make internet available to all. They'll not say who lacks access. WiFi, cable, u.s.w., render obsolete this early-90's concept, conceived in a fit of pique by plutocrats 'offended' by shortwave broadcasts. This is 2005, not 1985. How can anyone fall for thi$? Whether they do or not, Wall St. cash pushers ensure that BPL and it's mutant twin sibling, HD radio, will in fact 'end radio as we know it'.
This is destruction masquerading as progress. Those who dare question this putrescent techno-fecalith are accused ot impeding progress. Typical 90's victimspeak, in which predator spouts language of it's prey. Tedious.
We're all for progress. Radiating destructive ubiquitous - might one rudely mention unlawful? - interference is not progress. It is what it is. Polite thuggery.
Forget politeness. Team BPL/HD used undue influence to slick the FCC, so as to wipe out spectrum. They declared war on everyone with a radio. They fear exposure and dread pens' power. That's why feckless craven gits take such - feigned - umbrage at those who so rudely point out that post-90's Emporers of the Ether have no clothes. They just gass off about good intentions. The more they so do, the more one hears the chains rattling.
