Ofcom fails to sweep away power-line networking

Duckfest

Who cares?

Millions of people are using PLT to network their houses without the need to install CAT-5 or interfer with my wireless connection. Who cares if a load of pensioners who get there kicks from listening to some guy talk to his neighbour in Palmyra Atoll (probably bouncing a signal off the moon) suffer from the odd buzzing noise whilst they do the things that Ham hobbists do?

Remind me again what the point of Ham radio (without resorting to a post-apocalyptic vision of ham-radio saving us all from disaster)? Something was invented a few years ago that does a better job, its called the telephone.

Pulls pin and ducks for cover.
