Hmmmmm...report Powell to the MPAA

said by Article:

FCC chairman Michael Powell earlier this year toured a power line broadband enabled home in Maryland and gave his blessing to the technology. Powell watched the movie "Ice Age" on a flat-screen 42-inch television streaming from another computer miles away, checked his voice mail over an Internet telephone, and watched his picture get printed after it had been taken by the front door security system. "This is within striking distance of being the third major broadband pipe into the home," said Powell at the time.

Isn't rebroadcasting that movie illegal...seeing as what's really happening with streaming is a "copy" is being made, cached before playing? If so, naughty naughty Mr. Powell. If not...who's to say how long I can keep a cached anything?

What do you expect from a person who has made nearly 900 posts in less than two months of membership?

Maybe we should pitch in and buy him a life.

Well I cant say I have agreed with oliphant5 See Profile but he has had some good points made in his posts. Now having said that, it won’t hurt him to get some “air”

I can if you want me to. Always looking to add to that post count.

Maybe we should pitch in and buy you a membership, unregistered Ameritech.com.

But getting back to the topic, the ARRL may have a valid concern. However, I have to wonder how many of these complaints are coming from loyal telco shills. After all, after the crap the telcos pulled on the tri-cities, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was an organized effort to squash competition any way they can. Maybe the smellcos are spreading the old FUD to slow BPL deployment?

The very detailed data from the ARRL and many other folks speaks for itself.

If you read the comments from the power companies, you will find that there is a complete lack of any real interference data.

The only FUD is the myths being propagated by the BPL lobbyists.
