The ARRL, an association of amateur radio operators, recently filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C., alleging that the broadband over power line (BPL) trial now being conducted in Briarcliff Manor, New York, by Consolidated Edison and Ambient Corporation continues to produce radio frequency emissions that seriously interfere with and impair the ability of ham radio operators to use their FCC-licensed radio stations.

Etopia Media's Broadband over Power Line World (BPLW) spoke briefly today with Chris Olert, a spokesperson for Consolidated Edison, to get that organization's take on the ARRL complaint.

Mr. Olert told BPLW "the FCC has acknowledged that Con Edison complies with its parameters."
