Now that the President and Congress are involved in this disaster, I think this is the perfect opportunity to get messages or letters to the Congressional Committee that will investigate this failure and let them know the utilities want to add BPL to the already overloaded and antiquidated distribution system.

Forget about the HF interference potential, let the congress know what the utilities are up to. #This could very well be the death knell of BPL because I for one, cannot see how the utilties will be able to or want to add BPL to their lines or for that matter, the congress or FCC would even allow it after this.

Yep, they will like to offer BPL but unless your computer runs on generator, they can't even get the electric to you for your modem to work. If the FCC trusts them with new, unproven technology when they can't get their old technology to work right after a century of experience, well, then they suck.
