Still in relation to electricity, one of the biggest problems BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) has is the interference it causes to radio operations, including ATC (Air Traffic Control), AM broadcast radio, ham radio, HF maritime radio, HF aircraft frequencies, RFDS, police HF radio networks and various other HF radio users and emergency services. This would get worse as the bandwidth is increased on the power lines.
