The thing that fries me about BPL is that it is licensed under Part 15 rules, which basically states that it must not cause harmful interference with any other licensed service and that it must accept any interference from other licensed services. Because the BPL industry had some buddies in the FCC like Michael Powell, it appeared that the FCC looked the other way when it came to harmful interference to other services. BTW, hams aren't the only ones affected by BPL interference, the miliary still uses a lot of HF communication as well.
Call me cynical, but as Chuck Harder on his "For The People" radio show used to say, "follow the money trail" and that will explain it all.
