But Del, BPL lost out. I don't think it is being used anywhere, is it?
In the BPL interference case filed by the ARRL, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals held that the FCC deliberately and intentionally misconstrued the evidence before it in order to justify a decision in favor of BPL (the Commission simply ignored all the evidence of the interference that BPL would cause). The Court of Appeals set aside the Commission's BPL decision and remanded the case back to the agency for reconsideration in light of the Court's opinion, which pointed out a lot of FCC perfidy. If anybody is interested in reading the case, let me know and I'll get you the citation. It will convince you that the FCC must be a really rotten agency if they would fake the evidence like that and then try to cover up what they did. And can you believe that on remand, the Commission reaffirmed its earlier findings, based on no new evidence (i.e., it essentially ignored the Court of Appeals' decision in an attempt to wear the League down)! But, as I understand it, by that time everybody had figured out how much interference BPL really did cause, and it fell out of favor. Fact-check me on whether BPL is actually being used, guys.
