BPL puff piece on NPR

NPR's "Day to Day" broadcast a piece about Broadband over Power Line (BPL) technology today (25 October 2004) that was completely one-sided. The supposed advantages of BPL were presented uncritically and not a word was said about the technology's interference potential or the numerous groups that oppose it’s deployment. Whether the FCC has been abrogating its responsibility to protect and administer spectrum for the public good by unabashedly supporting BPL technology was similarly not addressed. There is a link to a stream of the broadcast on this page:
