Perhaps 3 to 300 MHz is easy to generate?  I suspect the noise they will
spew forth with BPL is ignored for two reasons:  relatively localized,
thus no large business interests will be immediately harmed.  The
second, this is just another fine example of bought and paid for
politicians and/or legislation:  the folks writing the regulations are
the folks that are going to be regulated.  They want to get rich off BPL
-- why the hell would they care about interference.

There I go again, being a cynic.
