Title: ARRL's Sumner says, "FCC Pretending to Sleep" - "It Seems to Us . . ."

ARRL, dated 10/1/06 -  "It Seems to Us . . .":

"That sums up our dealings with the FCC on interference from Broadband over Power Line (BPL) systems. If the Commission were asleep -- that is, if they were simply unaware of the intractable radio interference caused by some BPL technologies -- the facts would wake them up. But they are only pretending to sleep. Factual arguments, no matter what the volume, will not arouse the FCC from its feigned slumber..."

It think that was the ARRL's point. And I’m sure the government doesn’t want to be perceived as stifling any business, big or small. Unfortunately, the FCC writes the rules, and in this case, fails to follow them.
