Very interesting. Listen to the way the interviewer, obviously a BPL proponent, tries to twist some topics.

I just listened to the interview, and it is obvious that the interviewer is pro-BPL, but he allowed plenty of lee-way for Mr. Sumner to elaborate enough to get his points across.
Lots of tap dancing by K1ZZ ... referenced the ARRL as "speaking on behalf of" instead of "representing" amateur radio. #He was well coached in the legally "correct" responses throughout, and didn't poke the BPL Industry in the eye when given a chance to do so. (Reference the discussion late in the interview about initial lack of cooperation with BPL folks)
Interesting the developing point of view that BPL is at best a "transitional" technology, one which is not likely to last very long, if it appears at all.
I would dearly love to hear the response generated by the BPL Industry to this interview. #They certainly weren't left with anything to cheer about!
