Let's not fly totally off the handle here folks!

I'd like to have a clean radio environment too, but this power-line Rf stuff
may not fly, or may not be a problem, for any one of many reasons:

#1: It's cheap, if you ignore the cost of fitting RF pasthru's to every
pole transformer.

#2: Will people stick with a service that could very likely be slowed down
or shut down by any noisy vacuum-cleaner motor in the neighborhood?

#3: Exactly how noisy is it, and is this added noise any worse than your
typical urban background hash from HV corona, salty insulators, Harley's,
corona-globes, shavers, light-duimmers, touch-lamps, flourescent tubs,
computer monitors, computer keyboards, christmas lights with flashers and
dimmers, and whatnot?

Let's get the facts before we go toss mudballs at the FCC building.
