WHOA! Back up the bus, there, Charles. I'd like a citation for that one! I have been searching google (a major investor in BPL) diligently and have not seen a single reference to CW in this disaster. Not one.
Actually, Craig fingered the reality. The FIRST communications out of the affected area were via CNN and the major networks who had pre-staged cameras and crews in the area. We're living a myth. All of us. Hams, ham clubs, the ARRL. We're going to get blind-sided. That quote in the WSJ from a BPL rep saying "amateurs were nothing", is a WARNING. With all the billions of dollars behind BPL, and hams defending their existence with fairy tales, we are ripe for an attack from powerful, moneyed interests and they will eat our lunch.
